EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a poignant moment from the Battle of Bazentin Ridge in Bazentin-le-Grand, France during World War I. The image shows a hansom cab amidst the chaos of war, serving as a stark reminder of the contrast between the elegance of Victorian and Edwardian times and the brutality of conflict.
The hansom cab, with its distinctive design and historical significance, stands out against the backdrop of destruction and devastation caused by battle. It serves as a symbol of an era long gone, now overshadowed by the horrors of war.
The print is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought in WWI, highlighting both the human cost and technological advancements that characterized this period in history. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has captured this moment with remarkable clarity and detail, allowing viewers to reflect on the impact of war on society.
As we look at this image today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the harsh realities faced by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. It serves as a testament to their courage and resilience in the face of unimaginable adversity.
