Derriere la bataille, au Sud de la Somme - Le travail de notre artillerie sur les defenses Allemandes
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Behind the Battle, South of the Somme: The Work of Our Artillery on the German Defenses), 1916, is a poignant photograph from the First World War era, captured by an unknown photographer. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The photograph captures the intensity and brutality of the Battle of the Somme, which took place between July and November 1916, on the Western Front in France. The scene portrays the tireless work of the French artillery as they target the German defenses, with the remnants of a concrete machine gun emplacement visible in the foreground, having miraculously survived their attack. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the destructive power of war and the relentless nature of military conflict. The use of black and white enhances the mood, creating a stark contrast between the desolate landscape and the ominous clouds in the sky. The image also underscores the importance of fortifications and the strategic role they played during the First World War. The photograph is a poignant testament to the sacrifices made during the conflict, and serves as a reminder of the human cost of war. The unknown photographer's skillful composition and use of light and shadow add depth and texture to the image, making it a valuable historical document and a powerful visual representation of the First World War. Overall, "Derriere la bataille, au Sud de la Somme: Le travail de notre artillerie sur les defenses Allemandes" is a haunting and evocative image that captures the essence of the First World War and the indelible mark it left on history.
