Ferdinand Foch, French soldier and hero of World War I, 1922
Ferdinand Foch, French soldier and hero of World War I, 1922. Foch (1851-1929) was chosen as supreme commander of the Allied armies on 26 March, 1918, five days after the start of the German Spring Offensive, which threatened to end the war in Germanys favour. In July 1918 Foch stopped the German advance at the Second Battle of the Marne, finally turning the tide of the war decisively in the Allies favour, for which he was made a Marshal of France.

FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed French soldier and hero of World War I, Marshal Ferdinand Foch, in 1922. Foch's remarkable military career is highlighted by his appointment as supreme commander of the Allied armies just days after the German Spring Offensive began in 1918. With his strategic brilliance, he successfully halted the German advance at the Second Battle of the Marne in July that same year, ultimately turning the tide of war in favor of the Allies. In this portrait, Foch sits atop a majestic horse, embodying strength and leadership. The image exudes an air of authority as he gazes confidently into the distance while enjoying a momentary respite from battle with a pipe clenched between his teeth. His military uniform speaks to his dedication and commitment to serving his country. The photograph not only immortalizes Marshal Ferdinand Foch but also serves as a metaphor for resilience and determination amidst adversity. It symbolizes how one man's unwavering resolve can change history and shape nations. Preserved within an album titled "Photographies dans L'Intimite de Personnages Illustres" this rare glimpse into Foch's life offers us insight into both his public persona as a revered war hero and glimpses behind-the-scenes that reveal him as an ordinary man who played an extraordinary role during one of humanity's darkest times.
