"Liquid fire, or Flammenwerfer". Hand-colour print of a photograph taken by an unknown soldier, showing the effects of burning oil and phosphorus projected from a German Flammenwerfer. This hand-coloured print was produced by Colarts Studio, also known as the Colograph-Art Company. Colarts was the contractor to the Australian War Memorial for producing photographic prints for sale to the public. The studio produced enlargements, intended for framing, and toned and hand-coloured prints. Joynt also collected soldier photographs, from which he produced, exhibited, and sold similar coloured enlargements. Colarts was owned by Capt. William D. Joynt, V.C. Colarts Studio operated at 98 Albert St, Windsor, Melbourne, then 447-9 Law Courts Place, Melbourne. The entry for this print in Colarts' catalogue of soldier photographs carried the following caption: "Burning oil and phosphorus projected from a cylinder through a short pipe, as used by the 'Kultured Hun'." This print was made in Colarts' Windsor studio. Joynt's collection of soldier photographs was later acquired by the Memorial.
