EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Le sous-lieutenant aviateur Marchal' (First Lieutenant Aviator Marchal), dates back to the tumultuous year of 1916 during the First World War. The image is part of the 'Collection de la Guerre IV' from the French publication 'L'Illustration', showcasing events from July to December of that year. The photograph portrays Anselme Marchal, a brave French aviator, in the cockpit of his aircraft. With a determined expression on his face, Marchal is seen wearing his flying helmet and goggles, ready for a daring mission. The image captures the essence of the early days of aerial warfare, with the cockpit adorned with various dials, levers, and switches, revealing the complexity of the technology used during this era. Marchal's most notable exploit was a daring flight from France to drop leaflets over Berlin, an act of psychological warfare against the German forces. This audacious mission, which took place during the war, highlights the innovative tactics employed by the armed forces during this period. The photograph, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the early aviators who played a pivotal role in the evolution of air power during the 20th century. The print, now a valuable addition to any collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Western Front and the pivotal moments of the First World War.
