Perils of Wiring Work - Frozen by the Cold Glare of a Star-Shell, 1914-19
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph from the early 20th century captures a haunting moment during World War I. In this powerful image, we witness the dangerous and perilous work undertaken by soldiers in the dead of night. The scene is illuminated solely by a star-shell, casting an eerie glow on the brave soldier who toils away at his wiring task. With mallet in hand and flare nearby, he navigates through a treacherous landscape of barbed wire with utmost caution. The tension is palpable as every move could mean life or death. The artist skillfully conveys both the physical danger and psychological strain experienced during wartime. The frozen stance of the soldier suggests not only the chilling cold but also hints at how time seems to stand still amidst such hazardous conditions. This print serves as a poignant reminder of those who risked their lives in service to their country during World War I. It pays tribute to their unwavering dedication and resilience even under extreme circumstances. As we gaze upon this artwork, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by countless individuals throughout history and honor their bravery in times of war.
