Summary

In a letter on 5 July 1918 to the Ministry of Information, Nash announced designs for a work entitled 'Howitzer Battery
Firing' (possibly this work). 'A Howitzer Firing' was a commission from the Ministry of Information and was listed as complete on 15 July
1918.
image: A scene with four British artillerymen firing a Howitzer gun. They stand beneath a canopy of camoflage netting. To
the right a blast of light erupts from the muzzle of the gun, and the men on the left shield their faces from the

brightness.

A very large dataset of various big guns, howitzers, mortars, columbiads, all types of canon-like things - everything besides machine guns and rockets. This collection as well as all massive collections on Picryl.com required two steps: First, we picked a set to train AI vision to recognize cannon artillery, and after that, ran all 25M+ images in our database through our image recognition network. All media in the collection is in the public domain. There is no limitation on the dataset usage - educational, scientific, or commercial.
