General Joffre - The Savior of France during World War I
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Henri Manuel in 1920, showcases the esteemed French First World War general, Joseph Joffre. Known as the savior of France, General Joffre's portrait exudes strength and determination. In 1914, when Germany's advance threatened to overpower France at the Battle of the Marne, it was General Joffre who halted their progress. This pivotal moment earned him immense popularity and he became a symbol of hope for his nation. However, two years later, despite his earlier triumphs, General Joffre was effectively dismissed as Commander in Chief. To preserve his public image and maintain morale among the French people, he was discreetly appointed Marshal of France instead. This photograph is part of "The Great World War - A History" edited by Frank A Mumby in 1920. It serves as a reminder not only of General Joffre's military prowess but also highlights the complexities and politics surrounding wartime leadership. Henri Manuel skillfully captures the essence of this revered figure through his lens. The photogravure technique used adds depth to every detail – from General Joffre's distinguished features to the medals adorning his uniform – emphasizing both his authority and dedication to serving his country. As we gaze upon this remarkable image today, we are transported back to a time when one man stood tall against adversity; an enduring testament to courage amidst chaos that forever shaped history.
