EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a chilling relic from the First World War. In the midst of destruction, an unexploded 150 kg German shell stands ominously in Roye sur Matz, France, in August 1915. The unknown photographer skillfully portrays the magnitude of this weapon and its potential for devastation. The image transports us back to a time when Europe was engulfed in conflict. It serves as a haunting reminder of the horrors endured during this tumultuous period in history. The shell's presence symbolizes the constant threat faced by soldiers and civilians alike. The composition is stark yet powerful, with the shell taking center stage against a desolate backdrop. Its sheer size commands attention and evokes feelings of unease and trepidation. We can almost hear echoes of distant bombings as we contemplate the destructive power contained within that metal casing. Through this photograph, Stefano Bianchetti captures not only a historical artifact but also an important aspect of human resilience amidst chaos. It reminds us to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during World War I. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to that fateful moment in time when war ravaged nations and changed lives forever. It is both a testament to our shared history and a call for peace so that such devastating weapons may never be unleashed again.
