EDITORS COMMENTS
(At the Wheel; Automobile Convoy Crossing the Vosges to Descend into Alsace), 1918, is a captivating photograph taken during the First World War. The image, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, showcases an impressive convoy of lorries and trucks making their way through the rugged terrain of the Vosges Mountains in Grand Est, France. The photograph offers a glimpse into the logistical efforts of the armed forces during the war, as they navigated the challenging mountainous roads to transport supplies and troops to various fronts. The Vosges Mountains, located in eastern France, served as a significant barrier during the war, particularly on the Western Front. The convoy in this photograph is seen making its descent into Alsace, a region that had recently been reclaimed by France after being under German control since 1871. The image is a poignant reminder of the military struggle for territory and the importance of effective transportation systems in supporting the war effort. The photograph's creator remains unknown, but the image itself is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the challenges faced by the armed services during the First World War. The convoy, with its determined drivers and loaded vehicles, represents the resilience and determination of the military during this tumultuous time. The image, with its stark contrasts and intriguing composition, is a testament to the power of photography as a means of recording history.
