Interesting photo. Makes you wonder if they are digging it in or trying to dig it out.

I'm pretty sure that cannon was used by the flying Zacchini family. The B/W photo makes the red, white and blue paint hard to see!

Okay Gents, I'm flexible...what Radio2 wants to know is what is the gun and was it made before 1899...

So does any one know the history of this interesting cannon?

Looking at the shapes of the shells, it might be a poison gas projector.

Maybe

French 370mm mortar
