EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turbulent times of World War One, specifically to September 1914 on the Eastern Front. The image captures a moment of destruction and chaos as the Austrian army, in their desperate retreat, blows up a bridge spanning the mighty Dneister River. The composition is hauntingly beautiful yet filled with an air of devastation. The remnants of what was once a vital connection between lands now lie scattered across the river's surface. It serves as a poignant reminder of the toll that war takes on both infrastructure and human lives. George Mewes skillfully captured this historical event, freezing it in time for future generations to witness and reflect upon. Through his lens, we gain insight into the immense challenges faced by soldiers fighting on unfamiliar terrain during this brutal conflict. As we gaze at this photograph, our minds are transported to a different era - one where nations clashed and alliances were tested amidst unimaginable hardships. This image not only documents an act of demolition but also symbolizes resilience and determination in the face of adversity. In today's world, where peace prevails over conflict along these shores, let us remember those who fought bravely here and honor their sacrifices. George Mewes' remarkable work allows us to connect with history on a profound level – reminding us never to forget the lessons learned from past wars while cherishing our hard-won peace.
