EDITORS COMMENTS
Francois Flameng's haunting image, "Les Batailles de l'Artois; Les entonnoirs de Carency" (The Battles of Artois; The Sinkholes of Carency), captures the devastating impact of the Second Battle of Artois during the First World War. This poignant photograph was taken in 1915, in the Pas-de-Calais region of France, near the village of Carency. The scene portrays the aftermath of intense artillery bombardment, with the remnants of buildings reduced to rubble and the ground scarred by numerous shell craters. The title "entonnoirs" translates to "sinkholes," aptly describing the deep, cylindrical depressions left behind by the explosions. The French artist, Francois Flameng, captured this image for "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the destructive power of war and the lasting impact on the landscape and its people.
