EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph print, titled 'Mines, from the infernal machine used by the Russians during the Crimean War to colossal barrages employed during the Second World War (1940)', is a testament to the dramatic evolution of mining and mining technology throughout history. The image, captured by renowned photographer G.H. Davis for the Illustrated London News, showcases a diverse array of mines and mining techniques used by various military forces from the Crimean War to the Second World War. In the foreground, an infernal-looking mine from the Crimean War is depicted, a rudimentary yet deadly device that relied on contact with a ship's hull to detonate. The mine's simple design pales in comparison to the colossal barrages employed during the Second World War, which are shown in the background. These underwater barriers, composed of hundreds or even thousands of mines, were used to protect harbors and shipping lanes from enemy attacks. The progression from the small, contact mine to the large-scale, underwater barrage represents the significant development in mining technology over the course of a century. The image also highlights the importance of mining as a military weapon, with mines being used to disrupt enemy supply lines, protect strategic locations, and inflict damage on enemy ships. The photograph print, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the history of mining and its role in warfare. From the Crimean War to the Second World War, mines have played a crucial role in shaping the outcome of conflicts and advancing military technology.
