**Captain Poncelet of SS France: A Timeless Portrait**
This striking photograph print captures Captain Poncelet of the iconic ocean liner SS France, a flagship vessel operated by Compagnie Générale Transatlantique between c1910 and c1915. The image is courtesy of Bain News Service, renowned for their press photography expertise during this era.
Dressed in his crisp naval uniform, Captain Poncelet exudes confidence and authority as he stands at attention on the ship's deck. His eyes seem to gaze out towards the horizon, symbolizing a sense of adventure and exploration that defined maritime travel during this period.
The black-and-white photograph is a testament to George Grantham Bain's skillful use of light and shadow, creating a striking contrast between Captain Poncelet's uniform and the surrounding ocean. This portrait not only showcases the captain but also serves as a window into the history of naval warfare, shipping industries, and transportation during World War I.
As part of Heritage Images' collection, this photograph print is an invaluable piece of historical documentation that provides insight into the lives of sailors and captains who played crucial roles in shaping global events. The image's timeless quality makes it a fascinating addition to any art or history enthusiast's collection.
