EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First World War. The image showcases Belgian guns, manufactured by Krupp, as they prepare for battle near Ghent, Belgium in 1914. The powerful artillery pieces stand tall on a road at Ziel, surrounded by a crowd of curious onlookers. Amidst the chaos of war, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the daily lives of civilians and soldiers alike. Men and horses can be seen scattered along the street, emphasizing the collaboration between man and animal during times of conflict. The presence of bystanders adds an element of humanity to this scene; their expressions reflect both curiosity and apprehension. The monochrome composition enhances the gravity of this historical moment while evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long past. It serves as a reminder that even amidst destruction and turmoil, life continues with its routines and interactions. Preserved through time by HW Wilson's illustration from "The Great War" this photograph is not just an artistic representation but also serves as documentation for future generations to understand the impact of war on society. As we observe this image today, it prompts us to reflect upon the sacrifices made during World War I while appreciating our own peaceful existence in the present day.
