EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Automobile Artillery Convoy," is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, captured in 1918. The image, which originated from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, depicts a convoy of artillery lorries and automobiles making their way along a muddy road under the cover of twilight. The setting sun casts a warm glow over the scene, its rays illuminating the silhouettes of soldiers and vehicles in the distance. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the logistical aspects of warfare during this period. The convoy, which appears to be heading towards the front lines, is laden with artillery pieces and ammunition, highlighting the importance of motorized transport in the military during the First World War. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are seen towing the guns with ropes, their faces set with determination and focus. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the scientific advancements of the time. The use of automobiles and lorries for transporting heavy artillery marked a significant shift from traditional methods of horse-drawn artillery. This innovation not only increased the speed and efficiency of military operations but also allowed for greater mobility and flexibility on the battlefield. The photograph also captures the passage of time, with the setting sun marking the end of one day and the beginning of another. The title "Le Matin" (Morning) and "La Soirée" (Evening) can be seen on the sides of some of the vehicles, further emphasizing the transient nature of the moment. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the complexities and challenges of warfare during the First World War, as well as the scientific and technological advancements that shaped the course of history. Despite the unknown creator, the image remains a powerful testament to the human spirit and resilience in the face of adversity.
