Winner – Animal Portraits: The pose by Mogens Trolle, Denmark. A young male proboscis monkey cocks his head slightly and closes his eyes. Unexpected pale blue eyelids now complement his immaculately groomed auburn hair. He poses for a few seconds as if in meditation. He is a wild visitor to the feeding station at Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary in Sabah, Borneo – “the most laid-back character”, says Trolle, “quite unlike anything I’ve ever seen on another monkey” – connects us, he hopes, with a fellow primate.

One of Napoleon Bonaparte's favourite military commanders died in the Battle of Smolensk during the Russian campaign of 1812. The search for his remains was one of the main goals of the joint archaeological expedition, which the historians of the two countries, led by Pierre Malinowski, President of the Foundation for the Development of Russian- French Historical Initiatives, began in the summer of 2019. A significant find was made during excavations at the Royal Bastion in the Lopatinsky Garden of Smolensk. (Photo by Sergei Ilnitsky/EPA/EFE)
