EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide presents an aerial view of the German military's use of toxic gas during World War I. The image, captured from a bird's-eye perspective, reveals a vast expanse of battlefield scarred by the devastating effects of mustard gas. The German troops, clad in protective gear, can be seen dispersing the gas from canisters, releasing it into the wind to blanket the enemy lines. The use of chemical weapons marked a significant shift in the nature of warfare during this period, with both the Allied and Central Powers employing these deadly agents. This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a haunting glimpse into the early history of chemical warfare. The image transports us back to the Edwardian and Victorian era, evoking a sense of the unfathomable horrors and sacrifices endured during the Great War.
