EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century in Auckland, New Zealand. The image showcases a remarkable piece of artillery known as the disappearing gun, located in Devonport on the North Island. Standing tall against the backdrop of this bustling city, it serves as a reminder of New Zealand's rich history and its strategic importance during that era. The disappearing gun was an innovative military technology designed to protect coastal areas from potential threats. Its unique mechanism allowed it to be concealed below ground level when not in use, providing a tactical advantage by surprising any approaching enemy ships. Walter Bibikow skillfully captures this historical artifact with his lens, highlighting both its grandeur and significance within Auckland's landscape. The composition invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details of this powerful weapon while also marveling at the surrounding beauty of New Zealand's North Island. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, imagining what life was like during those days when cannons guarded these shores. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of security and defense. Discover Images by AWL continues to provide us with glimpses into different corners of our world through their exceptional collection. This particular print is just one example among many that allow us to explore diverse cultures and histories captured through talented photographers' lenses like Walter Bibikow's work here.
