EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Sausage; The Parachute Begins to Deploy), 1916, is an intriguing and historic photograph from the first world war era. The image, of unknown origin, is taken from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Janvier, Fevrier, Mars, Avril, Mai, Juin 1916," and depicts a daring aerial maneuver during wartime. The photograph captures the moment a parachute begins to deploy from an observation balloon, known as a 'Saucisse' or 'sausage' due to its distinctive shape. The balloon, filled with hydrogen gas, is tethered to the ground and serves as an essential tool for military reconnaissance during the early 20th century. The parachute, a relatively new invention at the time, is used to safely transport soldiers and observers to the ground from great heights. The black and white image, with its stark contrast and crisp details, transports us back to a time of conflict and innovation. The photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of those who served during the first world war. The parachute, which would later become a symbol of freedom and adventure, was initially used as a means of transportation in the heat of battle. The photograph is a unique glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the military strategies and technologies of the time. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made during the first world war and the advancements that came from it. The unknown creator of this photograph has left us with an enduring image that continues to fascinate and inspire.
