EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the distinguished likeness of Marshal Joseph Joffre (1852-1931), a pivotal figure in French military history during World War I. Born in France in 1852, Joffre rose through the ranks of the French Army to become the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army during the early years of the Great War. Known as 'Papa' to his troops, Joffre is best remembered for his strategic victory at the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914, which halted the German advance on Paris and marked a turning point in the war. The image, rendered in intricate detail through the medium of engraving, showcases Joffre's stern yet focused expression, reflecting the gravity of the situation at hand. Dressed in the uniform of a French marshal, complete with the distinctive four-star insignia, Joffre cuts an imposing figure against the neutral background. As a contemporary character of the 20th century Europe, Joffre's legacy continues to be celebrated in military and historical circles, making this print a valuable addition to any collection.
