Snow-Covered Forest with Narrow-Gauge Rail Line and Timber Gantry Structure, WWI German Negative Collection
This winter forest scene, drawn from a collection of WWI-era German photographic negatives, depicts a narrow-gauge rail line leading to a timber-and-iron gantry structure, likely part of the logistical and engineering infrastructure German forces built behind the lines to move timber, ammunition, and supplies through difficult terrain during the First World War.
