EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harrowing scene of Antwerp under siege in October 1914. In the midst of chaos and panic, crowds of desperate refugees struggle to make their way onto a pontoon bridge, desperately trying to escape the advancing German forces. The sheer magnitude of this exodus is overwhelming, as men, women, and children fight for their lives. However, amidst this turmoil, a glimmer of hope emerges. The image reveals that the chaotic crowd is being cleared to make room for ambulances to pass through. This small act of compassion amidst war's devastation showcases humanity's resilience even in the darkest times. The photograph encapsulates the horrors faced by civilians during World War One - an era marked by conflict and suffering on an unprecedented scale. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary people caught up in global events beyond their control. Tom Grant's expert composition brings this historical moment back to life with remarkable clarity and detail. Through his lens, we are transported back to that fateful day around October 7th, 1914 when Antwerp was besieged. This evocative piece allows us to bear witness not only to the physical destruction caused by war but also highlights our shared humanity in times of crisis.
