EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the moment of solemn tribute paid to American aviator Kiffin Rockwell, who lost his life in the skies of Alsace during the First World War on September 23, 1916. The image is taken from 'L’Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1' published by L’Illustration, Paris, in 1924. Kiffin Rockwell, a brave and dedicated soldier, is depicted in his military uniform, standing at attention before his grave. The image, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict, captures the essence of the era with its stark contrasts and somber mood. The full-length portrait of the American aviator, dressed in his military apparel, is a testament to the concept of valor and duty that defined the First World War. The photograph is a significant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the fashion of the time, as well as the military uniforms and equipment used during the war. The image is also a poignant reminder of the shared experience of loss and sacrifice that united the people of France and the United States during the conflict. The photograph's provenance is unknown, but it is a valuable addition to any collection focused on the First World War, military history, or the history of aviation. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring bond between the people of France and the United States during a time of global conflict.
