EDITORS COMMENTS
"Field Marshal French, June 8th, 1915: A Portrait of Military Leadership in the Great War by Lucien Hector Jonas This evocative portrait captures the distinguished visage of Field Marshal John French (1852-1925), Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the early years of World War I. The photograph, taken on June 8th, 1915, is a poignant reminder of the leadership and determination that defined the British military effort during this pivotal period in history. At the time this image was taken, Lucien Hector Jonas (1880-1947) had recently been officially accredited as a military painter to the Musée de l'Armée in Paris. Throughout the war, Jonas traveled extensively along all sections of the front lines, producing thousands of drawings, oil paintings, charcoals, sketches, and illustrations of various kinds. His work documented the realities of war, providing a visual record of the soldiers, leaders, and uniforms of the time. Jonas was particularly well-known for his portraits of military leaders and soldiers in various national uniforms. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects, combined with his artistic skill, resulted in a body of work that remains an invaluable historical resource. This portrait of Field Marshal French is a testament to the artist's talent and his commitment to documenting the events and individuals that shaped the course of the First World War."
