EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the arduous task of transporting pontoons during World War I in Somme, northern France. The image showcases a convoy of horse-drawn vehicles laden with equipment for building pontoon bridges. These essential structures played a crucial role in facilitating troop movements and supply lines across treacherous terrains. The monochrome composition evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to the early 20th century when men bravely fought on the battlefields. Amidst the backdrop of war-torn Picardy countryside, soldiers can be seen diligently working alongside local French civilians. The print is part of a series of glass plate stereoview images that provide an invaluable glimpse into the realities faced by those who lived through this tumultuous period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the ingenuity required to construct these vital bridges but also of the resilience and determination exhibited by all those involved in supporting their troops on both sides. This historical artifact from The Print Collector collection offers us an opportunity to reflect upon one aspect among many that defined this global conflict - transportation logistics amidst chaos and destruction.
