EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Where The Shells Came From (Sheffield), c1927" takes us back to the industrial landscape of early 20th century England. Captured by artist Reginald Belfield, this image showcases the bustling munitions industry in Sheffield during the 1920s. The elevated view allows us to witness a sprawling scene filled with factories, chimneys, and canals. Thick smoke billows from the chimneys, symbolizing both progress and pollution that accompanied rapid industrialization. The monochrome palette adds a sense of timelessness to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. In this vista of South Yorkshire's industrial heartland, we see the birthplace of bombshells that played crucial roles in conflicts around the world. This aerial perspective offers a unique insight into how transportation was vital for moving these shells efficiently across vast distances. Belfield's work is part of his publication "From Landscape To Studio" which explores landscapes transformed by human activity. Through his lens, he captures not only physical structures but also conveys a deeper concept - one where nature intertwines with industry. As we gaze upon this powerful image, it serves as a reminder of our past and prompts reflection on how far we have come since then. It invites us to appreciate both the achievements and consequences brought about by advancements in transport and industry during this transformative era in history.
