EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph from 1916 depicts a French soldier in the midst of World War I, utilizing a specially adapted sniper's rifle with a periscope in the trenches. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers during this tumultuous time. The soldier is seen peering through his periscope, which provides him with an elevated view above the parapet while remaining protected behind sandbags. This adaptation allowed snipers to maintain cover and accuracy while surveying enemy territory. The trench warfare of World War I was characterized by its brutal and stagnant nature, making snipers crucial for gaining any advantage over the enemy. With their specialized rifles and periscopes, these skilled marksmen played a vital role in reconnaissance and eliminating high-value targets. The artist Lucien Hector Jonas masterfully captures both the intensity and isolation experienced by soldiers on the Western Front. His use of vibrant colors brings life to this historical moment, reminding us of the sacrifices made by those who fought on behalf of their countries. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by troops during World War I. It pays tribute to their bravery, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to duty amidst unimaginable circumstances.
