EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history during World War I. Taken between 1914 and 1918, the image showcases a horses' billet in Suippes, northern France. The glass plate stereoview print offers a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by both man and animal during this tumultuous period. In this scene, rows of sturdy tents stand tall against the backdrop of an uncertain future. These stables served as temporary homes for these noble creatures who played an integral role in warfare at that time. The monochrome tones evoke a sense of solemnity, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. The horses themselves are not visible in this particular shot; however, their presence is palpable through their empty billets. Their absence serves as a poignant reminder of their sacrifice and unwavering loyalty to those they served alongside. As we reflect on this photograph from over a century ago, it reminds us of the immense challenges faced by soldiers and animals alike during World War I. It also pays homage to all those who fought bravely on both sides of the conflict. This historical artifact comes from The Print Collector collection but should not be used for commercial purposes. Its significance lies in its ability to transport us back to an era defined by war, resilience, and camaraderie amidst adversity.
