Part 2/11:
By the late 19th century, photography technology had evolved to allow for portable cameras, which became especially useful during WWI. The development of these compact cameras, such as Kodak models, enabled soldiers and journalists to document their experiences on the battlefield unlike ever before. This was particularly vital during aerial reconnaissance, where traditional scouting methods like cavalry were rendered obsolete by modern trench warfare. Photographs of trenches, troop movements, and battlefield panoramas became critical for military intelligence and public dissemination.
