Modernisations industrielles et fabrications traditionnelles dans la Grande Guerre à travers la photographie et le cinéma militaires
Abstract
From the Autumn of 1914, French industry had to undergo considerable reorganisation in order to respond to the demands of a war effort that was turning out longer that expected. Deprived of a large part of its raw materials of coal and steel, industry nevertheless succeeded in keeping the trenches supplied with shells, new military equipment and food. The images produced by the photographic and cinema section of the army bear witness to this collective effort in the field of new military technologies, but also in more traditional sectors.
