EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of French military presence in Egypt during the early 20th century. The photograph, taken by Job, a pseudonym for Jacques Marie Gaston Onfroy de Breville dit JOB (1858-1931), showcases the 9th Half Battle Brigade stationed in Egypt. The image transports us to a time when French troops held their ground amidst the grandeur of ancient Egyptian architecture. Standing proudly before one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Pyramid of Cheops in Gizeh, these soldiers exude strength and determination. The composition is strikingly beautiful as it juxtaposes modern military uniforms against an ancient backdrop. The intricate engravings on their attire mirror the architectural details found on this iconic pyramid. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are reminded of France's significant role in North Africa during this era. This photo serves as a testament to both cultural exchange and colonialism that shaped nations' histories. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in history. It invites us to reflect upon not only military conquests but also artistic appreciation and preservation. With its timeless appeal and rich symbolism, this remarkable print by Photo Josse continues to captivate viewers with its blend of artistry and historical significance
