This print captures the immense scale of a huge salvage depot during World War I. Thousands of tons of valuable salvage from the battlefields have arrived, ready to be sorted and sent to various parts of the country for re-manufacture into new war material. The scene is bustling with activity as workers meticulously categorize and organize the salvaged items. In the foreground, a steam train stands tall, loaded with carefully sorted salvage that is about to embark on its journey to other destinations. The sight of these trainloads leaving symbolizes hope and resilience amidst the chaos of war. The photograph was taken on May 10th, 1918, providing us with a glimpse into an era known as the golden age of train travel. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this image, transporting us back in time to witness this crucial moment in history. Alfieri's skillful composition captures both the enormity of the salvage depot and the intricate details within it. This vintage archival piece serves as a powerful reminder not only of humanity's ability to rebuild after destruction but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes during wartime
