EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-068524-0000" we are transported back in time to the Battle of Ypres, a significant event that unfolded between 22 April and 25 May 1915. The focal point of the image is an imposing French cannon, cleverly camouflaged with leafy branches, blending seamlessly into its surroundings. This massive weapon stands as a symbol of strength and power amidst the chaos of war. As we delve deeper into the photograph, our eyes are drawn to the background where other cannons come into view. These additional artillery pieces serve as a reminder that this battle was part of a larger conflict, one that engulfed nations and shaped history. The significance of this particular cannon lies not only in its role on the battlefield but also in its representation of military equipment during World War I. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation in times of adversity. Surrounded by lush vegetation, this cannon appears almost inconspicuous at first glance. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes evident that it is anything but ordinary. Its sheer size commands attention while simultaneously evoking feelings of awe and trepidation. This remarkable print captures an important moment in contemporary history - a snapshot frozen in time for us to reflect upon today. As we gaze upon this image from Alinari's collection without any mention or association with commercial use or company details, we are reminded once again how photography can transport us through time and provide glimpses into moments long gone but forever imprinted on our collective memory.
