EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts a formidable German gun emplacement on the Zeebrugge Mole during the First World War. The Zeebrugge Mole, a massive sea wall extension, was a strategic location for the German navy and army, as it provided direct access to the North Sea and protected the German U-boat base at Zeebrugge. The image captures the raw power and engineering prowess of the German military during this period. The gun, with its intricate details and massive size, is a testament to the advanced weaponry of the time. The gun's barrel is pointed towards the sea, suggesting that it was ready to defend against any naval invasion or attack. The photograph was taken by The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, a renowned source for historical images. The collection, which is now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the military history of the First World War. The lantern slide's muted tones and slightly grainy texture add to its authenticity and historical significance. The image transports us back to a time when the world was at war, and the fate of nations hung in the balance. This photograph is not only a reminder of the past but also a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
