| Scope | Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Pierre Laval, 1931, photograph |
| Used in | Global usage |
| Reason | This French politician can now be considered as a symbol of one of the darkest periods of the 20th century in France. During WWII, he collaborated with the German Nazis, and, as a member of the Vichy government, he signed orders permitting the deportation of foreign Jews from French soil to the death camps. For more details, see : en:Pierre Laval. --This picture, shot in 1931 by an unknown photographer of fr:Agence Meurisse, is the best in scope imo. Stiched, restored and cropped at home : no geocode. -- JLPC (talk) |
