EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of tension and unease on the quayside of a Belgian town during the early days of the First World War. The date is between 1914 and 1918, and the scene is one of everyday life disrupted by the inexorable march of war. The cobblestones are filled with a crowd of civilians, mostly men, dressed in caps and coats, their faces a mix of curiosity, concern, and fear. Some look upwards, perhaps at the sky, while others seem to be engaged in hushed conversations. At the heart of the image stands a soldier, his rifle pointed directly at the crowd. His stern expression and the weapon he carries are a stark reminder of the danger that lurks nearby. Boats in the harbor lie idle, their sails furled, as if waiting for a call to action that never comes. The quay side, once a bustling hub of activity, now stands still, a testament to the disruption caused by the Great War. The people on the quay, both civilians and soldiers, are caught in a moment of uncertainty, their lives on hold as they wait to see what the future holds. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, and the disruption it brings to even the most ordinary of moments.
