EDITORS COMMENTS
(A Zeppelin Shot Down at Revigny: The End of the Fall, the Wreck is Silhouetted by the Mass of Flames), is a haunting photograph from the first world war era, taken from the publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924. The image captures the aftermath of the destruction of a German Zeppelin LZ 77, which was shot down over the night sky of Revigny, in the Marne, Champagne-Ardenne region of France, in 1916. The photograph shows the silhouette of the wreck against the backdrop of the massive flames, with remnants of the envelope in flames tracing the wake of the airship. The image is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the war on both sides, and the destructive power of the new technology of air transport and transportation during that time. The exact creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the image. The photograph is a powerful visual representation of the end of an era, as the use of airships as weapons of war came to an end during the first world war. The image transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the past, and a reminder of the historical significance of this moment in the history of warfare.
