EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les destructions de monuments a Reims; Premier etage de l'Hotel-Dieu de Reims" (Destruction of Monuments in Reims; First Floor of the Hotel-Dieu), was created in 1916 during the First World War. The image captures the devastating impact of the war on the historic city of Reims, located in the Champagne-Ardenne region of France. The Hotel-Dieu de Reims, a historic hospital complex, is prominently featured in the photograph. The building, which dates back to the 15th century, is seen from the arrival of the grand staircase. The rose window and the pignon of the north transept of the Basilica of Saint-Remi can be seen in the background. The destruction wrought by the war is evident in the rubble and debris that fills the foreground, with the steps leading up to the hotel-dieu showing signs of damage. The photograph is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from the publication "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," which documented the events of the war. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the historical mystery surrounding this powerful image. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the destruction and damage caused by the First World War, and the impact it had on the cultural and historical heritage of Reims and France as a whole. The image also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Reims and France to rebuild and restore their cities and churches in the aftermath of the war.
