EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures the aftermath of a fierce battle during World War I. The image portrays French General Roqus, lifeless on the ground, his body a solemn testament to the brutality of war. Taken between 1914 and 1918 in France, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this tumultuous period in history. General Roqus lies motionless amidst a desolate landscape with a road winding through it. His uniform, adorned with medals that speak to his bravery and service, is now stained with dirt and blood. A hat rests beside him, its once proud shape now crumpled and forgotten. In death, he wears an expression of peace upon his face - perhaps finding solace after enduring unimaginable horrors. The photographer's identity remains unknown; however, their skill in capturing such raw emotion is undeniable. Every detail within the frame tells a story: from the glove discarded nearby to the distant hills that bear witness to countless battles fought before. As we gaze upon this powerful portrait today, we are transported back in time to an era marked by conflict and sacrifice. It serves as both a historical artifact and a reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction. This print from Alinari allows us to pay homage to General Roqus and all those who lost their lives during World War I. It reminds us not only of our shared past but also compels us towards building a future where peace prevails over violence – where no more generals or soldiers need meet such tragic ends on battlefields far from home.
