EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the imposing figure of Charles Mangin, a prominent military leader during the early 20th century. Standing tall with an air of authority, Mangin's three-quarter length portrait captures his commanding presence. His distinguished moustache adds to his formidable appearance, while his uniform and kepi symbolize his dedication to serving in the French army. Adorned with numerous medals and decorations, it is evident that Mangin was a highly decorated soldier who had earned recognition for his bravery and leadership skills. Known as "the Butcher" this moniker hints at the controversial nature of his military tactics. Published in 1910 in La Force Noire, this portrait gained notoriety as Mangin called for the utilization of French colonial forces in European wars. This photograph serves as a reminder of Mangin's influential role during World War I (WWI) and highlights his involvement in colonial conquests across Sudan, North Africa, Mali, Senegal, among others. Preserved within a private collection today, this historic image offers us a glimpse into the life of an esteemed general who played a significant part in shaping history. As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of Charles Mangin, we are reminded of both the triumphs and controversies that marked his career as he navigated through one of humanity's most tumultuous periods - WWI.
