De la Woevre aux Flandres; En Belgique - des cavaliers anglais demontes
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative black and white lithograph depicting a pivotal moment during the early days of the First World War. Created in 1914, the image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926. The photograph captures a group of dismounted British cavalrymen, clad in their distinctive uniforms, supporting their comrades in a nocturnal street fight against the German enemy. The battle takes place in a Belgian town, with buildings and streets in the background, adding to the sense of chaos and intensity. The time of day is indicated by the dimly lit scene, with only the occasional flickering streetlight illuminating the scene. The cavalrymen, with determined expressions on their faces, are shown holding their weapons at the ready, prepared to engage in hand-to-hand combat. The image conveys a sense of courage and resilience, as the soldiers face the unknown dangers of the battlefield. The contrast between the dark night and the brightly lit scene adds to the drama and tension, making this a striking and memorable representation of the First World War. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the conflict, and serves as an important historical record of the events that unfolded during the early days of the war. The identity of the creator of this powerful image remains unknown, but their work continues to capture the imagination and inspire reflection on the events of the 20th century.
