EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the plight of Belgian refugees during World War I as they make their way towards Antwerp in 1916. The group, consisting of men, women, and children, can be seen trudging wearily along the road with their belongings strapped to their backs. Their faces are etched with exhaustion and fear, a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war.
The vintage quality of this lantern slide adds a sense of historical significance to the scene, transporting us back to a time when Europe was embroiled in conflict. The clothing worn by the refugees reflects the styles of the Edwardian era, further anchoring this moment in history.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by those who were forced to flee their homes due to war. Despite facing unimaginable hardships and uncertainties about what lay ahead, these individuals pressed on with determination and courage.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this poignant snapshot from a dark chapter in human history. It serves as a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of those who endured unimaginable suffering during WWI. This photograph is not just a piece of art; it is a window into our past that demands reflection and remembrance.
