EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the distinguished figure of Arthur Bucheron, better known as Saint-Genest, a French military captain and prolific writer on military history. Born in 1830, Saint-Genest began his military career as a hussar officer in the Imperial Guard of Napoleon III, later serving in the Lancers during the Franco-Prussian War. His military experience provided the foundation for his extensive literary work, which included numerous articles and books on military tactics, strategy, and history. The image, taken around 1830-35, shows Saint-Genest in his military uniform, with a stern yet thoughtful expression on his face. His piercing gaze and well-groomed mustache lend an air of authority and intelligence. The photograph, which is part of the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to the military and the written word. Saint-Genest's military career spanned several decades, and he continued to write and publish until his death in 1902. His works were widely read and influential, and he is still remembered today as a significant figure in French military history. This photograph, with its striking composition and historical significance, is a testament to Saint-Genest's enduring legacy as a military captain and writer.
