    "Alfred Kühlewindt, who took this photograph, was allowed to enter the battlefield as a war photographer in the fall of 1914. Many photographs of the German front line were staged. The new manner of waging war with long-range artillery, not to mention the no-man’s-land between opposing trench lines, made photographing battle scenes very difficult. As a result, photographs of still scenes (where exposure times were not an issue) circulated in far higher numbers than shots of active combat.

    artolog: Thanks for providing us with more information about the photographer. We'll include a bit of it next time we update.

    I found this postcard with a color version of the same scene, (I suppose handcolored afterwards) but the cutting out is not the same. The postcard is bigger, on all sides but especially on the left side. Does this mean that your glass negative is not the original? Can you explain this.

    The Bain negative is from a copy of a postcard version of the photo, which is cropped differently than the postcard you found.

    LOC, you have spelled Kühlewindt's name wrong in the descriptive notes.

    The guy at the top has a binocular trench periscope. See, for example, bbs.homeshopmachinist.net/threads/36601-binocular-periscope

    swanq: Thank you for identifying the binocular trench periscope in this image. It is always great to have more information on the objects in the Bain photos.
