EDITORS COMMENTS
La mission militaire francaise, led by Lieutenant-Colonel Bremond, pays a visit to College Saint-Louis in Tanta, Egypt, 1916. During the tumultuous year of 1916 in the First World War, the French military mission, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bremond, made a significant stop at College Saint-Louis in Tanta, Egypt. This historic moment was captured in a photograph by Melik, as part of the Collection de la Guerre IV in the publication "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The image portrays a group of French soldiers and officers, dressed in their military uniforms, gathered around the college's entrance. The Egyptian sun casts long shadows over the group, adding an air of intensity to the scene. The Arabic inscription on the college's sign, "College Saint-Louis," can be seen in the background, symbolizing the diverse cultural landscape of the region. Lieutenant-Colonel Bremond stands tall and proud in the center, his stern expression conveying the gravity of the mission at hand. The soldiers around him appear focused and alert, their gazes fixed on the colonel, demonstrating their unwavering loyalty and commitment to their leader and their country. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the wartime experiences of the French military in North Africa during the First World War, offering a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges of the conflict. Melik's masterful composition and use of light and shadow further enhance the image's historical significance, making it a valuable addition to any collection of World War I photography.
