Dans le jardin d'une légation allemande. Explosifs et cultures de microbes; la caisse contenant les huit tubes de virus de la morve
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Explosives and cultures of microbes; the box containing eight tubes of glanders virus) is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, circa 1916. The image, sourced from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Décembre 1916," offers a haunting glimpse into the clandestine world of wartime biological research. The photograph captures a close-up view of a wooden box, its contents carefully concealed within. The box, with its intricate design and secure latches, appears to be an ordinary container. However, upon closer inspection, the viewer discovers the true nature of its contents. The box is filled with eight glass tubes, each containing a murky, ominous substance. These tubes are labeled with the ominous title "Virus de la morve" (Glanders virus), a highly infectious and deadly disease that was used as a weapon during the First World War. The photograph's caption, "Dans le jardin d'une légation allemande," suggests that this clandestine research was taking place within the grounds of a German diplomatic mission. The presence of explosives in the photograph further underscores the dangerous and secretive nature of this research. The image is a poignant reminder of the darker aspects of scientific discovery and the lengths to which nations were willing to go during wartime to gain an advantage. The photograph's origins are unknown, adding to its intrigue and mystery. It serves as a stark reminder of the past and the potential dangers that lie in the intersection of science, war, and diplomacy. The photograph's enduring power lies in its ability to transport the viewer back in time, offering a glimpse into a world that is both fascinating and unsettling.
