EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history when soldiers from the New York Naval Reserves engaged in a mock battle on Fishers Island, New York, in 1917. The image, a copyphotograph of an earlier photo taken by Byron Company, showcases the intense training and preparation these brave men underwent during World War I. In this mesmerizing scene, infantrymen confront each other with guns and cannons on an outdoor battlefield. Their determined expressions reveal their commitment to honing their skills for the impending conflict. The composition exudes a sense of tension as smoke billows from the firing weapons, adding to the realism of this simulated clash. The silver gelatin print beautifully preserves every detail of this historic event. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the dedication and sacrifice exhibited by these servicemen. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are reminded of the bravery displayed by those who fought for our freedom. Displayed at the Museum of the City of New York, USA, this photograph serves as a testament to both military practice and historical documentation through photography. Its significance lies not only in its artistic value but also in its ability to immortalize an important chapter in American history. Bridgeman Images has ensured that this remarkable piece remains accessible for all to appreciate and learn from without commercial use restrictions.
