EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Portrait of a young soldier (naked head)", takes us back to the late 19th century during the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War. The image, captured by Paul Emile Theodore Ducos between 1870 and 1886, showcases a strikingly handsome French soldier standing proudly at the Abbey of Septfontaines in Bourmont, Haute Marne. The soldier's youthful face is exposed without any headgear, allowing us to see his determined gaze and strong features. His military uniform signifies his allegiance to France as he stands tall with an air of confidence. The sword hanging from his side serves as a reminder of the turbulent times he lived in. Ducos' photographic skill shines through in this portrait, capturing not only the physical attributes but also conveying a sense of pride and resilience that characterized many soldiers during this era. The composition is simple yet powerful, drawing our attention solely to this brave young man who represents countless others who fought for their country. As we admire this historical gem preserved in Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - an emblematic symbol of courage amidst adversity. This photograph serves as both a testament to human strength and an homage to those who sacrificed for their nation during one of France's most challenging periods.
