EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rat Wars" taken on the 10th of October, 1928, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in history. The image showcases a group of determined men diligently engaged in an essential task for the Ministry of Defence's rat control programme. Their occupation is clear as they roll poison dough with unwavering focus, each taking up their designated role within this critical operation. The atmosphere captured by J. Gaiger's lens is one of purpose and dedication. The machinery surrounding them serves as a reminder of the industrial era that defined this period, where human ingenuity combined with technological advancements to tackle societal challenges head-on. As our gaze lingers on the photograph, we can almost smell the pungent aroma emanating from these Red Squill biscuits being cut meticulously by skilled hands. It is through such meticulous efforts that these brave individuals sought to protect their communities from potential harm caused by rampant rodent populations. J. Gaiger's masterful composition transports us beyond mere documentation; it allows us to reflect upon humanity's ceaseless pursuit to create safer environments for all. This historical snapshot reminds us that even amidst adversity and unseen threats lurking beneath our feet, there will always be those who rise above and confront challenges head-on – just like these resilient men immortalized forever in this remarkable piece of art.
