EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the border between Switzerland and France in the municipality of Beurnevesin. Taken on June 19,1917, during World War I, this autocrhome print by Paul Castelnau provides a glimpse into the tense atmosphere that prevailed at the Western Front. In this image, three Swiss border guards stand resolute on the left side of the frame while facing their French counterpart on the right. Separating them is a sturdy fence symbolizing territorial boundaries and military control. The rural landscape surrounding them adds to the solemnity of the scene. The photograph not only highlights soldiers fulfilling their duties but also offers insight into life during wartime. A small village can be seen in the background, reminding us that even amidst conflict, daily life continued for civilians who lived near these borders. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how war affects not only those directly involved but also those living within its reach. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of World War I's impact on both nations and individuals alike.
