Summary edit

Description
English: A battlefield photograph taken during World War I by noted Australian photographer Frank Hurley that incorporated two separate images for dramatic effect.

Hurley was horrified by what he witnessed during the war and sought to portray his disgust and horror in such a way that his audience would feel it too. Since he could not always convey this with one negative, he combined elements of two or more photographs – a technique that was especially popular among professional photographers at the time. Some have considered the practice as an art form; others argued that history demanded the plain, simple truth.

The image displayed on a page together with its two component images is Frank Hurley composite image and its components -- fallen comrades.tif
