EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a basket of barrage balloons during the tumultuous years of World War I. Taken between 1914 and 1918, this image is part of a series of glass plate stereoview images that depict scenes from the Great War. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of gravity to the already somber subject matter. The location is believed to be in France, where these observation balloons were used extensively by soldiers for surveillance purposes. In this particular shot, we see a group of unidentified men standing near the balloon's basket, their faces etched with determination and resilience. These brave soldiers played a crucial role in defending their country against aerial attacks. By deploying these barrage balloons, they created an obstacle course for enemy aircraft, hindering their ability to strike targets effectively. As we gaze upon this print from The Print Collector collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by countless unknown heroes during World War I. Their unwavering commitment to protecting their homeland serves as an enduring symbol of courage and patriotism.
