EDITORS COMMENTS
Dans le jardin d'une légation allemande. Explosifs et cultures de microbes; Deuxième enveloppe de la caissette de virus de la morve adressée à "l'attache militaire bulgare, colonel Samargieff" (In the garden of a German legation. Second envelope of the glanders virus box addressed to "Bulgarian military attache, Colonel Samargieff"), 1916, is an intriguing photograph from the First World War era. The image shows a close-up of an envelope, its contents hidden from view, but the significance of its contents is clear from the handwritten address and the visas affixed to it. The envelope bears the address of Colonel Samargieff, the Bulgarian military attache, and was sent from Bucharest, Romania. The visas, signed by the prefect of police and the secretary of the American legation, attest that they had seen the original packaging of the envelope's contents. The presence of the visas suggests that the envelope and its contents were subject to careful scrutiny, likely due to the sensitive nature of their contents. The background of the photograph reveals a garden, perhaps belonging to the German legation in Bucharest. The presence of explosives and cultures of microbes in the garden is a chilling reminder of the use of biological warfare during the First World War. The glanders virus, a highly contagious disease that affects horses and mules, was a favored agent of biological warfare during this period. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the clandestine activities that took place during wartime. The unknown creator of this image captured a moment in history that serves as a reminder of the darker aspects of human conflict.
