La Visite de Pershing a La Fayette; Le general, devant la tombe de La Fayette - a sa droite
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, taken in 1917. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a significant moment in history as General John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief of the American Expeditionary Forces, pays his respects at the tomb of the Marquis de Lafayette in a Parisian cemetery. At the General's side, dressed in civilian attire, is the Marquis de Chambrun, a French deputy from Lozere and a descendant of Lafayette. The Marquis had been part of the Joffre-Viviani mission to the United States. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the historical connection between France and the United States during a pivotal time in world history. The image features General Pershing, dressed in military uniform, standing solemnly before the tomb of the French hero, Lafayette, who played a crucial role in the American Revolution. Lafayette, known as "Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette," is depicted in the photograph with his full title, "Lafayette Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de La Fayette." The Marquis de Chambrun, also in civilian attire, stands respectfully beside Pershing, further emphasizing the importance of their shared lineage. The photograph, taken in a graveyard, is a poignant reminder of the historical ties between the two nations and the significant role that Lafayette played in shaping the United States. The black and white image, with its timeless quality, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this moment in history.
