Description: | John Charlton has depicted an incident in the Battle of the River Aisne of September 1914, early in World War 1. French horse artillery teams are racing to drag the guns across the river before flooding cuts them off. British and French forces had launched an attack on German defences along the river. This very large picture shows John Charlton's skill at depicting horses in movement. Charlton was a Newcastle artist, but was based in London from 1875. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East animals North East artists men people natural world war | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
