This is an original photograph taken in 1918, showcasing a serene landscape view of a sunset over the Seine River, likely viewed from an area near Chatillon-sur-Seine, France. The image captures the reflection of the sun's fading light on the water's surface, framed by barren trees that suggest a late autumn or winter setting. The scene conveys a poignant moment, possibly taken by Sgt Alexander Wilson or a member of his squadron during World War I, presenting a peaceful contrast to the backdrop of conflict. The Seine River has historically been a significant geographical feature in France and has witnessed many events throughout its long history. Particularly during World War I, the region surrounding the Seine became crucial for military operations and supply routes. As pilots like Sgt Wilson flew missions nearby, they likely sought moments of tranquility away from the turmoil of warfare. This photograph serves as a reminder of such moments, capturing both the natural beauty of the landscape and the historical context of the period. Caption present: "SUNSET ON THE SEINE."
