EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print captures the spirit of Les Diables Bleus, a mountain camp of the Chasseurs Alpins, as depicted in a watercolor painting by Pierre Comba. Comba (1859-1934) was a renowned French artist who dedicated his career to representing the military, with a particular focus on the Chasseurs Alpins, also known as the Blue Devils. During the Great War, Comba's watercolors were widely reproduced as postcards, bringing fame to these brave mountain soldiers. A member of both the Society of Military Painters and the French Alpine Club, Comba was a recipient of the Palmes Académiques, an honor bestowed by the French government for outstanding achievements in the arts or literature. Beyond his artistic pursuits, Comba was deeply involved in charities dealing with soldiers in Nice and the Alpes-Maritimes region. In this image, we see the rugged terrain and harsh conditions that defined the lives of the Chasseurs Alpins, as they trained and prepared for battle. The Blue Devils were known for their bravery and tenacity, earning their nickname through their distinctive blue uniforms and fearless demeanor. This photograph print is a testament to the enduring legacy of Pierre Comba and his unwavering commitment to capturing the essence of the French military, particularly the Chasseurs Alpins, and the unyielding spirit of the Blue Devils.
