EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic Great Arras Battle Area in 1917 during World War I. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, showcases the aftermath of a fierce battle that unfolded in this strategic location. The photograph is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VIII. Ending The First Three Years", edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press Limited in London, 1917. It offers a glimpse into the military campaign and cartography employed during this tumultuous period. The Great Arras Battle Area, located in Nord Pas de Calais region of France, was a significant battleground where British forces fought valiantly against their adversaries. This powerful visual representation allows us to reflect on the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by soldiers from Britain and other countries involved. As we study this image, we can't help but marvel at its historical significance as it transports us to a time when nations were embroiled in one of the deadliest conflicts ever witnessed – World War I. Though created over a century ago, this photograph continues to serve as a reminder of the human cost associated with war. Through its depiction of destruction and desolation juxtaposed against strategic military planning, this print captures both the devastating reality faced by those on the front lines and highlights their unwavering determination to secure victory amidst unimaginable circumstances.
