EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense action during the First World War. Titled "Letters O and P: hairy offensive" the image showcases French soldiers entering a building that had been raided by German troops. The Germans, having stolen food, cleverly escaped through a window before the French arrived. The photograph is part of an intriguing series called "War Alphabet" illustrated by Henri Lanos, a renowned artist from the 19th-20th century. Published by Hachette et Cie around 1916, this particular piece spans eight pages and measures 31x23.5 cm. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the bravery and determination of the French soldiers as they navigate through treacherous territory to protect their homeland. Their distinctive kepi hats identify them as members of the French army during this tumultuous period. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during war and highlights both human resilience and ingenuity in times of conflict. It offers viewers a glimpse into history while showcasing Lanos' artistic talent in capturing such powerful moments. This remarkable print is part of a private collection belonging to Henri Lanos himself, adding an extra layer of historical significance to its already compelling narrative.
