#1
This is a painting of a trench in WWI and this trench was just attacked by mustard gas. This killed almost all of the soilders and the ones who survived were injured severly. this supports my claim by showing how deadly these gasses were.
This is a painting by Hans Holbein generally thought to have been painted in the mid 1530s. This shows how mush gas there was and how much it would spread. This supports my claim by showing that this gas was not just a little bit like a smoke bomb, These gasses would spread for miles until going away.
#3
Charles I in Three Positions, also known as the Triple portrait of Charles I, is an oil painting of Charles I of England by Flemish artist Sir Anthony Van Dyck, showing the King from three viewpoints: left full profile, face on, and right three quarter profile. Ths supports my claim be showing that even if they are not killed by this gas, There are still many thing that happen.
#4
The Shrimp Girl is a painting by the English artist William Hogarth. It was painted around 1740–45, and is held by the National Gallery, London. This supports my claim by showing what each gas was made of and how deadly each one was.
#5
Mr and Mrs Andrews is an oil on canvas portrait of about 1750 by Thomas Gainsborough, now in the National Gallery, London. This supports my claim by showing how desperate the soilders were to get away from the gas because they knew that they would die in a matter of seconds.
#6
Flatford Mill (Scene on a Navigable River) is an oil painting by English artist John Constable, painted in 1816. It is Constable's largest exhibition canvas to be painted mainly outdoors, the first of his large "six-foot" paintings.
This supports my claim by showing how bad the gasses killed people and this shows how deadly the gasses are.
This is a picture of an old newspaper about how bad the gas attacks were in the war. Many men were killed within seconds and others were severly wounded. This help support my claim by showing how bad the gas attacks were back then, There is evidence and things that soilders said tht are in this newspaper that are just horrible.
#9
Ophelia is a painting by British artist Sir John Everett Millais, completed between 1851 and 1852. It depicts Ophelia, a character from Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river in Denmark. This supports my claim by showing the gasses used in the war. There were so many of them and these gasses were responsible for taking hundreds of thousands of lives in the war.
#10
These were the containers of gas used in WWI. These were shot like morters into enemy territoty and were mostly aimerand fired into the trenches. This supports my claim by showing how these were transported into enemy grounds and how these could be aimed for long distance.
