EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folio of 24 hand-coloured images, titled "Dans les Lignes Anglaises" (In the English Lines), offers a unique and poignant glimpse into the daily life of the British military during World War I. The folio, published in 1917, was created by the French artist Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour (1874-1939), with a foreword penned by his friend and fellow artist, Claire de Pratz. Each image in this collection is a hand-coloured reproduction of an original watercolour, meticulously rendered with great detail and sensitivity. The subjects range from quiet moments of soldiers at rest to the bustling activity of military camps, and from the beauty of the French countryside to the harsh realities of trench warfare. One image stands out as an original watercolour of a field stable in the British lines in France, circa 1917. Numbered 11 of 25, this signed folio measures 7.5 x 12 inches and provides a fascinating historical record of the First World War. The images offer a topographical and historical perspective on the war, capturing the essence of a time and place that continues to shape our understanding of this pivotal moment in history. Claire de Pratz, an author and artist in her own right, wrote the foreword to the folio, adding an additional layer of insight and context to the artwork. Berne-Bellecour's "Dans les Lignes Anglaises" is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, topographical art, or the human experience of war.
