EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mise en Batterie, Les Caissons se Portent en Arriere" transports us back to the 19th century, capturing a pivotal moment in French military history. Taken by an anonymous French photographer, this coloured photograph showcases the art of mounted artillery. In this vivid image, we witness soldiers meticulously arranging and positioning caissons as they prepare for battle. The caissons, or ammunition wagons, are being carried backwards to their designated spots in the battery formation. This precise maneuver is known as "mise en batterie" a term used to describe the process of setting up artillery for action. The composition exudes a sense of discipline and orderliness that was characteristic of military forces during that era. The attention to detail is evident in every soldier's stance and movement as they work together seamlessly. This historic photograph originally appeared as an illustration in the Album Militaire published around 1900 by B Poussot & Valadon. It offers us a glimpse into the world of French military culture at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting France's rich military heritage.
