EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment during the First World War. Taken around 1915, it showcases a detailed map showing the disputed border between France and Germany in Alsace-Lorraine, an area of great strategic importance. The image is sourced from "The Great World War - A History". Volume II, edited by Frank A Mumby and published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London around 1920. The Franco-German Frontier depicted on this map represents the intense territorial conflict that defined this era. It serves as a visual reminder of the complex web of borders and front lines that shaped the theatre of war during WWI. The railway tracks running through this disputed territory highlight its significance for transportation and logistics. Although we don't know who specifically captured this image, it was preserved by Keystone Archives and made available to us through Heritage Images. This photograph offers viewers a glimpse into history, allowing them to understand the geographical context within which major battles were fought. As we observe this print today, let us reflect upon the immense human cost incurred during these turbulent times. May it serve as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to strive for peace and understanding among nations.
