EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the First World War, specifically depicting the felling of trees in Noyon, northern France. Taken between 1914 and 1918, this image is part of a series of glass plate stereoview images that provide a glimpse into the realities of war during the early 20th century. In this particular photograph, we see several soldiers working together to cut down trees amidst a backdrop of destruction. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of solemnity to the picture, emphasizing the gravity and somberness of wartime activities. The unidentified men in uniform demonstrate their resilience as they engage in manual labor while fulfilling their duties on the battlefield. Noyon's picturesque landscape once flourished with lush greenery; however, it now bears witness to human intervention for strategic purposes. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder not only of the physical toll that war takes on both people and nature but also highlights how conflict can alter landscapes forever. Preserved by The Print Collector, this historical artifact allows us to reflect upon an important period in history when nations were engulfed in turmoil. It stands as evidence that even amidst chaos and destruction, humanity finds ways to adapt and persevere.
