EDITORS COMMENTS
is a rare and captivating folio of 24 hand-coloured plates and one original watercolor, signed as number 74 of 300, by the French artist Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour. This exquisite collection, published in 1917 during the height of World War I, offers a unique perspective on the military landscape of the time. The central image in this photograph showcases Berne-Bellecour's friend, Claire de Pratz, an author and contemporary of the artist, intently reading soldiers' letters. De Pratz penned the foreword for the folio, adding an intimate and personal touch to this historical work. The watercolor depicting her in deep concentration further emphasizes the emotional connection between the artist and his subject. The folio itself is a testament to the topographical detail and artistic mastery of Berne-Bellecour. Each hand-colored plate captures the essence of the military landscape during WWI, with intricate illustrations of regiments, tanks, and equestrian scenes. The images offer a glimpse into the daily life and struggles of soldiers during this tumultuous period in history. The folio, titled "Dans les Lignes Anglaises," is a significant piece of military history, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the era through the skilled hand of Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the human connection and emotion that lies at the heart of historical events.
