La Bataille de la Marne - Le mouvement de la bataille du 6 au 13 septembre 1914
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Battle of the Marne: The Movement of the Battle from September 6 to 13, 1914) is an intriguing lithograph depicting the pivotal moment in the First World War's Western Front. The exact creator of this piece remains unknown, but it was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926. The print showcases an intricate and detailed map, illustrating the positions and movements of the opposing forces during the Battle of the Marne. The German army, represented in red, is shown advancing towards Paris, while the French forces, in blue, are seen holding their ground and eventually pushing back the German troops. The map is adorned with annotations, providing valuable information about the troop numbers, positions, and movements during the critical nine-day campaign. The Battle of the Marne, fought between September 6 and 13, 1914, marked a turning point in the First World War. The German Schlieffen Plan, which aimed to quickly defeat France before turning to Russia, was thwarted when the French and British forces successfully halted the German advance near the Marne River. This victory prevented the capture of Paris and forced the Germans to retreat, altering the course of the war significantly. This evocative print offers a unique perspective on the complex military strategies and maneuvers during the early stages of the First World War. It serves as a valuable historical record, providing insights into the strategic positions, troop movements, and the overall context of the Battle of the Marne. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail make it an essential addition to any collection focusing on the military history of the 20th century, particularly the First World War.
