EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a chilling moment during the First World War. Titled "On an occasion when the German Poison gas assumed a reddish hue" it depicts British troops desperately retreating from an oncoming cloud of deadly gas. The image showcases the horrors of chemical warfare, as soldiers are seen running through trenches, their faces covered in agony and fear. The reddish hue of the poison gas adds an eerie and macabre element to the scene, symbolizing both danger and impending doom. In this chaotic setting, injured soldiers can be seen escaping while others remain blinded or wounded by the effects of gassing. The explosion in the background serves as a reminder of the relentless attacks that defined this brutal conflict. Through this photograph, artist Cyrus Cuneo brings to light not only the physical injuries inflicted upon these brave men but also sheds light on their mental anguish and suffering. It serves as a testament to their resilience amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we reflect on this historical moment captured by Cuneo's lens, let us remember those who sacrificed so much during World War I. This image stands as a stark reminder of how war can ravage lives and communities, urging us to strive for peace and understanding in our own time.
