~~Video Description~~

The smoke which obscured battlefields during the 18th and 19th Centuries is something that is regularly discussed, but not often focused on in great depth. In this video, pulling from both live display footage and primary sources from the time, I hope to shed a little more light on this diffusive and deeply important element of war, described as "Hell upon Earth."
