L'Exemple du Souverain; Le Roi Pierre Ier observe les peripéties de la bataille
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Example of the Sovereign: King Peter I of Serbia Observes the Peripeties of the Battle), December 1914, is a poignant photograph by Samson Tchernoff that captures the intensity and gravity of the First World War. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926, depicts King Peter I of Serbia, also known as Peter I Karageorgevich or Petar I Karadordevic, observing the battlefield from a vantage point. The photograph was taken during the Serbian Campaign, a significant military engagement in the early stages of the war, where the Serbian and Montenegrin forces successfully defended their territories against the invading Austro-Hungarian and German troops. The image captures the moment of respite for the king amidst the chaos and turmoil of the battlefield. The monarch, dressed in military attire, is seen standing tall and composed, his gaze fixed on the battlefield below. The expression on his face conveys a sense of determination and resolve, reflecting the unwavering spirit of the Serbian people in the face of adversity. The photograph is a testament to the leadership and courage of King Peter I, who earned the nickname "King Peter the Liberator" for his role in leading Serbia to victory during the war. The image also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the ground and the crucial role of the monarchy in rallying the troops and inspiring them to fight. The photograph's enduring power lies in its ability to transport us back to a pivotal moment in history and evoke a sense of awe and admiration for the human spirit in the face of adversity.
