EDITORS COMMENTS
(Amiens under Fire: Amiens Cathedral under the Protective Covering of its Portals), 1918, is a poignant photograph that captures the resilience and determination of the people of Amiens, France, during the First World War. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts the iconic Amiens Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, shrouded in protective coverings to safeguard its portals from the ravages of war. The photograph offers a glimpse into the wartime reality of Amiens, a city in Picardy, France, which was heavily bombarded during the First World War. The cathedral, a symbol of Christian faith and a testament to the region's rich history, stands defiantly amidst the chaos and destruction. The protective coverings, a necessary measure to preserve the cathedral's precious stonework and stained glass windows, add an eerie yet beautiful contrast to the otherwise desolate scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the impact of war on cultural heritage and the lengths people went to protect it. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring power of art and architecture to inspire hope and resilience, even in the midst of conflict. The photograph, though taken over a century ago, continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history and the indomitable spirit of the people of Amiens. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image. Despite this, the photograph remains an important historical document, offering a unique perspective on the First World War and the impact it had on the people and places of Europe.
