EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting aftermath of war in Peronne, France during the First World War. The image showcases a wrecked building situated in Grande Place, its crumbling facade serving as a poignant reminder of the destruction that ravaged this once-thriving town. The year is 1917, and amidst the debris and rubble, a sign written in German on the town hall reads: "Nicht argern, nur wundern" which translates to "No anger, just amazement". This powerful message speaks volumes about the resilience and strength of both nations involved. The photograph originates from "The Illustrated War Record of the Most Notable Episodes in the Great European War 1914-1918" published around 1920. It provides a glimpse into one small corner of an immense conflict that forever altered landscapes across Europe. The monochrome composition further intensifies the sense of desolation and loss experienced by those who witnessed such devastation firsthand. As we reflect upon this image, it serves as a stark reminder of both human capability for destruction and our capacity for hope. Despite witnessing their homes reduced to ruins, there is no room for anger but only astonishment at how war can transform even familiar places into unrecognizable landscapes. In capturing this moment frozen in time, we are compelled to remember not only the horrors endured but also to strive towards peace so that future generations may never experience such devastation again.
