EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, created by the renowned artist Guiregossian. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a significant moment in the history of the Middle East and the world. The photograph depicts the French and British naval fleet anchored in the harbor of Beirut, Lebanon, on October 6, 1918. On the left side of the image, two French torpedo boats are visible in the port, while on the right, two British ships are seen outside the harbor. The title of the photograph, "La Turquie Succombe" (Turkey Surrenders), signifies the impending end of the Ottoman Empire's involvement in the war. The image offers a glimpse into the military and naval power of the Franco-British alliance during the first world war. The ships, anchored in the harbor, represent the transport and logistical support essential for the war effort. The photograph also highlights the strategic location of Beirut, which served as a crucial port for the Allied forces in the Middle East. The photograph's historical significance lies in the context of the first world war and the political changes that followed. The Ottoman Empire, which had been a major power in the Middle East for centuries, was on the brink of collapse. The arrival of the Franco-British fleet in Beirut marked the beginning of the end for the Ottoman Empire and the start of a new era in the region. Guiregossian's photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in world history. The image offers a unique perspective on the military and naval power of the Allied forces during the first world war and the political changes that unfolded in the Middle East. The photograph remains an essential piece of historical documentation and a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the essence of a significant historical moment.
