    That’s interesting, apparently the photographer

    Henri Manuel (24 April 1874 – 11 September 1947) was a French photographer who served as the official photographer of the French government from 1914 to 1944.

      I didn’t even know countries had national photographers, let alone one who covered both world wars. Wild!

      Also, thanks, I started looking through his photography and have a few ideas for more fakehistoryporn!

        You’re welcome :) One of the things I really like about historyporn / fakehistoryporn photos is that, when I look into their background a bit, there’s often fascinating little bits of trivia that I learn!
