EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the heroic French defence of Fort Vaux during the Battle of Verdun in World War I. Commanded by Major Sylvain-Eugene Raynal, this historic moment showcases the bravery and resilience of the French soldiers in the face of intense German attacks. The colour litho brings to life the intensity and chaos of battle, with vibrant hues highlighting both the destructive power and unwavering determination exhibited by these brave men. The image is a testament to their heroism as they valiantly fought against overwhelming odds to protect their fort. Major Raynal, portrayed prominently in this portrait within the frame, stands as a symbol of leadership and courage amidst adversity. His resolute gaze reflects his unwavering commitment to defend Fort Vaux at all costs. This image was originally published in Le Petit Journal in 1916, serving as powerful propaganda that aimed to inspire patriotism and rally support for France's war effort. It serves as a reminder not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought on both sides but also highlights how warfare forever changed during this tumultuous period. As we reflect on this historical photograph, it is important to remember those who displayed extraordinary bravery during World War I. Their selflessness and dedication continue to inspire us today as we strive for peace and understanding in our world.
