EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured print titled "Manoeuvres de la Chevre a Haubans" takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a moment in French military history. The image showcases soldiers from the French artillery forces engaged in manoeuvres with their trusty goat, symbolizing resilience and resourcefulness. The photograph, taken by an anonymous French photographer, is part of a private collection and was later reproduced as an illustration for the Album Militaire by B Poussot & Valadon around 1900. It beautifully portrays the artillerie à pied (foot artillery) soldiers executing their duties while relying on this unique method of transportation for supplies. The composition exudes both strength and camaraderie as these soldiers navigate through challenging terrains with their haubans (ropes). The presence of food in the caption suggests that this image may have been captured during a crucial food supply operation or perhaps highlights the importance of sustenance during military campaigns. This photograph not only provides insight into historical military practices but also offers glimpses into French culture and traditions. It serves as a reminder of France's rich heritage in warfare tactics and its commitment to maintaining strong armed forces. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of artistry, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today.
