Description: | image: Edward, Prince of Wales (centre left) wearing full British military uniform and a unbuttoned 'British Warm'
overcoat. In his left hand he carries a swagger stick; behind him stands his ADC (centre profile) who holds a similar cane in his right
hand, tucked beneath his arm. Unlike the Prince he is booted and spurred. Behind the ADC to the right and forward right of the composition
stand two French artillerymen, one of whom is saluting. The figure in the foreground (cut in half by the edge of the image) is an officer
pointing at HRH with his left hand. The background is a simplified arrangement of earthworks and sandbags. To the top left of the
composition the otherwise quiet sky is interrupted by the curvilinear cloud or artillery puff. Below is a bi-lingual caption describing
the visit. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | 01/3(4-15) Prince (Duke of Windsor) Military Personnel FR.A portrait / personification trench / defences Artillery Royalty Edward | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
