EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as President Bernardino Luís Machado of Portugal travels through the recently liberated regions of France, specifically from Oise to Nesle, in 1917. Accompanied by French President Raymond Poincaré, Machado is seen here at the former observation post of Prince Eitel Friedrich of Prussia, the son of the Kaiser. The presence of the Portuguese and French leaders at this significant location underscores the strong alliance between their countries during this tumultuous time. The image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2," published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. In the background, we can make out Machado's military entourage, including men with bugles and other musical instruments, suggesting the presence of a military band. The black and white image, reminiscent of the 1910s era, offers a glimpse into the historic events of the time and the people involved. The photograph's composition is striking, with Machado and Poincaré standing in the foreground, their figures contrasting against the barren, post-war landscape. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the importance of international cooperation during times of conflict.
