EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating historical print captures a unique moment from September 7, 1915, during World War I. French soldiers are seen loading grenades onto a sauterelle, or grasshopper, which was a weapon that worked on a cross-bow principle. The sauterelle had the impressive capability of throwing grenades up to ninety yards away.
The image showcases the innovative and resourceful tactics employed by soldiers during wartime, as they utilized whatever tools were available to them in order to gain an advantage over their enemies. The sight of these soldiers carefully preparing the sauterelle for action is both intriguing and slightly surreal.
In a time when technology was rapidly advancing and warfare was becoming increasingly complex, this photo serves as a reminder of the ingenuity and adaptability of those who fought on the front lines. It also highlights the sacrifices made by individuals who put themselves in harm's way in service of their country.
Overall, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a lesser-known aspect of military history and prompts reflection on the ways in which humans have always sought out new methods to overcome challenges in times of conflict.
