    WWI Era Portrait of General Hermann V. Kusmanek

    $19.95

    This photograph captures General Hermann V. Kusmanek, a notable figure in the Austro-Hungarian army during World War I. Taken in 1914, the image provides a glimpse into the military leadership of the time, just before the outbreak of one of historys most significant conflicts. General Kusmanek is particularly remembered for his role in the defense of the city of Przemyśl, where he commanded a garrison that faced prolonged siege.

    Kusmaneks military career spanned several decades, reflecting the intricate and often turbulent political landscape of early 20th-century Europe. The year 1914 was critical, as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand had set off a chain reaction leading to the war. Captured by the Bain News Service, this photograph not only documents Kusmanek himself but also serves as a record of early 20th-century military life and the evolving techniques of photography.

    The original glass negative showcases the artistry and technical skills of early photographers, who used this medium to create sharp and detailed images. Kusmaneks portrait stands as a representative image of military leadership during a tumultuous time in history, giving us insight into the individuals who shaped the strategies and outcomes of World War I.
