EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking stereo pair photograph captures the intense moment of preparing to load a Mortier de 270 mm modele 1885 at the Bois de Givry, south of Auxerre, during the early years of the First World War, circa 1917. The Mortier de 270 mm modele 1885, a large-caliber muzzle-loading railroad gun, was a formidable weapon used by the French military during the war. In this image, we see the gun being carefully prepared for firing, with the crew in the foreground meticulously handling the heavy shells. The contrast between the intricate details of the gun's mechanism and the rugged terrain of the forest setting adds to the sense of power and determination. The introduction of aerial warfare during this period brought about significant changes in the nature of warfare, with both sides investing in the development of flight technology. The emergence of aircraft, aeroplanes, and planes as aerial transportation and transport tools marked a new era in military strategy. However, the ground war continued to be a significant battleground, and heavy artillery pieces like the Mortier de 270 mm modele 1885 played a crucial role in shaping the outcome of many engagements. This stereo pair photograph, arranged for a crossed eye viewer, offers a unique perspective, allowing us to see the scene in three dimensions. The left eye sees the image on the right, and vice versa, providing a more immersive experience and enhancing our understanding of the scene. This image not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the technological advancements and the intense battles that shaped the course of history during the First World War.
