L'Afrique et l'Orient dans les brumes du nord; Le front de France
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, taken in 1914. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts a scene of unexpected tranquility amidst the chaos and turmoil of war. The title translates to "Africa and the Orient in the North Mists; The French Front," and it captures the moment when the front lines of France became a caravanserai for various races. In this photograph, we see a group of Spahis, North African cavalry soldiers, leading their horses to the water trough in Picardy, France. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive red fezzes and white jellabas, are seen in a relaxed moment, taking a break from the rigors of war. Their horses, with their heads lowered to drink, mirror the calmness of their riders. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the multicultural and multiracial nature of the armed forces during the first world war. It also underscores the idea that even in the midst of war, there were moments of respite and camaraderie. The image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926. The photograph, with its timeless quality and evocative title, continues to captivate viewers with its unique glimpse into history.
