EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in World War I: the capture of the Russian Modlin Fortress. The image showcases the preparatory work of troops from the German Saxony brigade, led by Graf von Pfeil, as they meticulously set up barbed wire around the fortress. Known as Novogeorgievsk to Russians after its capture in 1813, this formidable stronghold was located near Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki in Poland. The photograph, sourced from Illustrirte Zeitung and Lebrecht History archives, transports us back to October 7th, 1915. In this early 20th-century scene on the Eastern Front of Europe's most devastating conflict, soldiers can be seen diligently digging trenches and fortifying their positions. An officer oversees these preparations with a watchful eye for any signs of danger or potential ambushes. The image not only offers a glimpse into military tactics employed during World War I but also serves as a testament to the courage and determination displayed by soldiers on both sides of this brutal conflict. As we delve into history through this remarkable photograph from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made by those who fought in what would later be known as "The Great War". It is an evocative reminder that war leaves an indelible mark on nations and individuals alike. Let us reflect upon this poignant visual record that encapsulates one small fragment of humanity's collective struggle during World War I – a time when borders were redrawn and destinies forever altered.
