The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 1
Weathered negatives from a Scott Field collection trace an American serviceman's path through the First World War, from the Brooklyn Bridge and New York Harbor to snow-covered bell tent camps, stone farmhouses in rural France, and the Thames at St Paul's. A distant airship over the English countryside, associated with the R38 and its 1921 loss, closes the sequence.
