EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when a French artillery unit is diligently practicing boarding a train at night at the Chalons military camp. The color lithograph, created by an anonymous 20th-century French artist, showcases the intense training exercises undertaken by these soldiers. In this image, we witness the soldiers clad in their military gear and rucksacks as they prepare to embark on the train. Their focused expressions reveal their commitment to honing their skills for combat readiness. The dark backdrop of the night sky adds an air of mystery and tension to the scene. The significance of this practice session lies in its contribution to enhancing France's armed forces' efficiency and preparedness during that era. By simulating real-life scenarios like boarding trains under cover of darkness, these troops were better equipped for swift mobilization during times of conflict or war. This artwork was originally published as an illustration for Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on August 17,1902. It serves as a testament to France's rich military heritage and cultural identity. Preserved in private collection today, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history and appreciate the dedication and discipline exhibited by these French soldiers as they undergo rigorous training exercises amidst challenging circumstances.
