EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Robert Nivelle, a prominent French general during the First World War. Taken in 1917, Nivelle's stern face and distinguished military uniform exude authority and command. Sporting a well-groomed moustache, he epitomizes the image of a seasoned commander. Nivelle held the esteemed position of Commander-in-Chief of the French army from December 1916 to May 1917. However, his tenure was marred by controversy as his ill-fated offensive on the Aisne River in April 1917 resulted in widespread mutinies among the troops. This failure led to his supersession by Petain. The chromolithograph portrait captures Nivelle's resolute gaze, hinting at both determination and perhaps even regret for his unsuccessful campaign. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical moment, transporting us back to one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers like Nivelle who fought valiantly for their country during World War I.
