EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases General Charles Mangin, depicted on the front cover of Le Petit Journal in 1916. The color lithograph, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century, captures the essence of this renowned military figure. Known for his influential role in World War I and his controversial nickname "the Butcher". General Mangin's portrait exudes power and authority. In this striking image, General Mangin appears confident and composed, donning a distinguished uniform adorned with medals that speak to his remarkable achievements. His charismatic smile is complemented by a well-groomed mustache, adding to his aura of strength and leadership. The laurel wreath encircling his head symbolizes victory and triumph—a fitting representation for a man who played a crucial role in significant battles such as the Battle of the Marne. As commander of French colonial forces during World War I, he advocated for their use in European conflicts—an idea explored further in La Force Noire published in 1910. This print not only serves as a historical artifact but also offers insight into the complex nature of war and colonial conquest during that era. It invites viewers to reflect upon the impact individuals like General Charles Mangin had on shaping world events at such a pivotal time.
