EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures a moment frozen in time during the tumultuous years of the First World War. A German soldier, his knee casually resting on the remains of a wolf, stands proudly with his hunting trophy in Russia circa 1915. The soldier's gaze is steely and determined, a stark contrast to the lifeless body at his feet.
In this historic photograph, we are given a glimpse into the harsh realities of war - not only against other humans but also against nature itself. The soldier's weapon lies by his side, a tool of destruction that has been used to bring down this majestic creature.
The wolf symbolizes resilience and strength, qualities that were undoubtedly admired by both sides in this brutal conflict. Yet here it lies defeated, its once fierce spirit now silenced forever.
As we reflect on this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought in the Great War. Each print like this serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the fragile balance between man and beast.
