EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "High Explosives, Flood Rock" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the world of military engineering. The print showcases a group of soldiers in uniform, standing near cases filled with arms and ammunition. Their serious expressions hint at the gravity of their mission. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the tunnel carved into Flood Rock, which was known for its treacherous waters. The soldiers are preparing to detonate high explosives, symbolized by dynamite sticks placed strategically along the tunnel walls. This dangerous task required immense skill and precision. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every element in this engraving has been meticulously rendered. From the copper rackarock used as an explosive device to various infantry weapons displayed nearby, each object tells a story about defensive weaponry during that era. As we observe this scene from afar, we can't help but feel sympathy for these brave soldiers who risked their lives for their country's safety. They were not only armed with weapons but also armed with determination and courage. This print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in our armed forces throughout history. It captures a moment frozen in time when military strategy met technological advancements, leaving an indelible mark on our collective memory.
