EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Serbes a Scutari d'Albanie; deputes de la Skoupchtina traversant le lac de Scutari," a captivating photograph by Samson Tchernoff, captures a pivotal moment during the First World War in 1916. The image, published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," depicts a group of Serbian deputies making their way across Lake Scutari in Albania. The Serbian army, having suffered a significant defeat in the Serbian Campaign, was in the midst of a strategic retreat. The photograph documents this moment of resilience and determination, as the deputies bravely navigate the lake's waters in small boats, transporting themselves and their vital supplies to safety. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of wartime, with soldiers in uniforms huddled together, their faces etched with exhaustion and concentration. The serene yet ominous backdrop of the lake adds to the sense of isolation and vulnerability, as the men face an uncertain future. Samson Tchernoff's masterful composition and use of contrasting light and shadow create a powerful visual narrative, one that speaks to the enduring spirit of the human condition in the face of adversity. The photograph stands as a testament to the courage and fortitude of the Serbian people during this tumultuous period of history. This evocative image is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the First World War, military history, or the history of Albania. It offers a unique perspective on the complexities of warfare and the indomitable human spirit, making it a must-have for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the events of the early 20th century.
