EDITORS COMMENTS
Une base Allemande en Adriatique; A'Achilleion; nos cuistots preparent... (A German Base on the Adriatic; Achilleion; Our Cooks Prepare... 1916) is a poignant photograph by Robert Vaucher, taken during the first world war. The image captures a moment inside a requisitioned palace, the Achilleion, located on the Greek island of Corfu. The palace, once a grand country house, now serves as a military hospital for German soldiers and personnel. In the foreground, French cooks, dressed in white aprons, are seen preparing meals for the patients and staff. They work diligently over imperial-sized casseroles, the steam rising from the pots adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. The room is dimly lit, with large windows casting a soft light on the scene. The walls of the palace, adorned with ornate decorations, stand in stark contrast to the military equipment and uniforms scattered around the room. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the military hospital during wartime. It also serves as a reminder of the human side of conflict, where even in the midst of war, basic needs such as food preparation continue. The image, published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those involved in the war effort. Robert Vaucher, a French photographer, captured this moment with exceptional skill, using his camera to document the realities of war. The photograph is a valuable historical record of the first world war and a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during that time.
