Row of Field Artillery Pieces along Exhibition Aisle, Ohio War Trophies Hall, c. 1918-1919
A row of captured field guns lines this Ohio exhibition hall aisle, part of a public war trophies display staged in the aftermath of the First World War. Signs warning against smoking reflect the practical hazards of housing such an exhibit within a wood-and-canvas hall, while the ornate columns and chandeliers suggest the venue served double duty as a civic gathering space.
