EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of General Nivelle commanding the army of Verdun during a significant moment in history. The front cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, supplement illustre, dated 28th May 1916, showcases the remarkable leadership and military prowess of this esteemed French general. In this color lithograph created by an anonymous French School artist from the 20th century, General Nivelle stands tall and resolute. Adorned with laurel leaves on his head and shoulders, he exudes authority and strength. A wreath encircles his portrait, symbolizing victory and honor. Donning his distinguished uniform with pride, General Nivelle gazes confidently into the distance. His well-groomed moustache adds to his air of command as he assumes his role as commander in chief. This oval-shaped portrait is set against a white background that accentuates every detail of this remarkable leader's countenance. The significance of this image lies not only in its artistic beauty but also in its historical context. It represents a pivotal moment during the Nivelle Offensive when General Nivelle led troops through Alsace towards Verdun during World War I. This iconic front cover illustration serves as a testament to General Nivelle's strategic brilliance and unwavering dedication to serving his country. Preserved within private collections today, this extraordinary piece offers us a glimpse into an era defined by courage and sacrifice. As we admire this portrayal of one man's indomitable spirit
