EDITORS COMMENTS
This pair of German Pom Pom shell cases, dating back to the tumultuous era of World War I (WW1, 1914-1918), showcases an intriguing blend of military history and artistic expression. Each case, adorned with intricate engravings, offers a unique glimpse into the creativity and imagination of the soldiers who crafted them during their downtime in the trenches. The first shell case, engraved with a well-dressed man, exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The man is depicted in a dapper suit, complete with a top hat and cane, suggesting an image of elegance and class. This engraving may have been a tribute to the soldier's idealized vision of a gentleman, or perhaps even a representation of his own aspirations. The second shell case, graced with an elegant lady, embodies the feminine grace and beauty that was cherished during this period. The lady is depicted in a flowing gown, with an alluring expression and an inviting pose. This engraving could have served as a source of inspiration or comfort for the soldier, offering a momentary escape from the harsh realities of war. These Pom Pom shell cases, with their intricate engravings, serve as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find solace and creativity even in the most challenging of circumstances. Their existence is a testament to the enduring power of art and the indomitable human spirit, making them an invaluable addition to any military history or trench art collection.
