EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful scene from Britain's mechanized army during manoeuvres in Hampshire. The image showcases a tank strategically positioned under the cover of a wood, blending seamlessly with its surroundings. Taken by an esteemed European photographer in the 19th century, this photograph is now part of a private collection. The picture was originally used as an illustration for "The Romance of Motoring" by T. C. Bridges and H. Hessell Tiltman, published in 1933. It beautifully depicts the excitement and glamour associated with early automobiles and driving. In this historical snapshot, we witness the fusion of technology and nature as the tank finds refuge amidst towering firwood trees. The troops belonging to Britain's armed forces are seen conducting their manoeuvres while maintaining utmost secrecy behind this natural camouflage. This image not only represents an important chapter in British military history but also symbolizes the ingenuity and resourcefulness of warfare tactics employed during that era. It serves as a reminder of how transportation played a vital role in combat operations, allowing troops to swiftly move across terrains. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to a time when tanks were still novel inventions on wheels - symbols of power that would forever change modern warfare strategies.
