In this print from the early 20th century, we are transported back to the tumultuous years of the First World War. Captured by an unknown Russian soldier turned photographer, this image showcases a masked Russian officer at his trench-post utilizing an ingenious invention known as a hyposcope. The hyposcope was developed in response to the challenging conditions of trench warfare. It served as a periscope sighting rifle attachment that allowed soldiers to remain hidden below cover while accurately observing and shooting at their enemies. This innovative technology enabled them to maintain their safety while gaining valuable information about enemy positions and distances. With intense focus etched on his face, the Russian officer peeks through the periscope rifle's lens, carefully calculating his next move. The photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes human resilience and adaptability amidst unimaginable adversity. This remarkable piece is part of 'The Great World War - A History, ' edited by Frank A Mumby.
