A Dug-Out in What Was Once A Sylvan Wood, (1919). Creator: Unknown
A Dug-Out in What Was Once A Sylvan Wood, (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: The desolation and havoc wrought on the face of the country by modern guns baffles description. Where words fail, the camera can to some extent record a part at least of the utter destruction of all the outward aspects of rural and sylvan beauty. It is difficult to conceive that the picture represents what was once a green and verdant forest. From " The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. V, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]

A Dug-Out in What Was Once A Sylvan Wood, (1919)
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This haunting print captures the devastating aftermath of the First World War. Taken during the years 1914-1919, it portrays a scene from the Western Front that showcases the unimaginable destruction caused by modern weaponry. The desolation and havoc inflicted upon the once serene countryside is beyond words. The image depicts a dug-out nestled amidst what was once a lush and verdant forest. It is difficult to fathom that this now barren landscape was once teeming with life and natural beauty. The black and white composition adds to its somber atmosphere, emphasizing the stark contrast between past vitality and present devastation. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how war can ravage not only human lives but also nature itself. The camera becomes an instrument capable of capturing at least some fraction of this utter destruction for future generations to witness. Taken from "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects" by W. Stanley Macbean Knight, published in London in 1919, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the immense sacrifices made during World War I. It stands as a testament to both human resilience in times of adversity and our responsibility to preserve peace for future generations.
