EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a poignant moment during the War of 1870. Titled "The bottom of the giberne" it depicts an injured infantryman selflessly giving his last projectiles to his companion amidst the chaos of the battle of Champigny on November 11,1870. The detail is taken from a painting by Jean-Baptiste-Edouard Detaille and Alphonse de Neuville, two renowned artists known for their depictions of war. In this scene, we witness the true spirit of camaraderie and sacrifice that exists among soldiers in times of adversity. Despite his own injuries, this brave soldier refuses to let his comrade go into battle unarmed. With blood staining their uniforms and weapons at hand, they stand united against the backdrop of smoke-filled skies. The composition skillfully portrays not only the physical tolls of war but also highlights themes such as solidarity and resilience. The intricate details in this large-scale artwork draw viewers into its emotional narrative, reminding us all about the human cost and heroism that often goes unseen in historical conflicts. Displayed at Musee de l'Armee in Paris, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Detaille's and De Neuville's work as well as reflect upon the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history who have fought for their countries with unwavering courage.
