EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'L'Exposition des oeuvres d'art mutilees ou provenant des regions devastees; Stalles de la cathedrale de Verdun' (Exhibition of damaged works of art or from devastated regions; pews from the cathedral of Verdun), was created in 1916. The image is from the 'Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916' (Collection of the War IV. The Illustration Volume CXLVIII. The War July, August, September, October, November, December 1916). The photograph captures a poignant moment during the First World War, showcasing the devastating impact of the conflict on the cultural heritage of France. The image depicts a series of wooden pews salvaged from the cathedral of Verdun in the Meuse region of Lorraine, France. The cathedral, a significant Christian and historical site, was severely damaged during the prolonged and brutal battle of Verdun in 1916. The pews, now damaged and bearing the scars of war, are arranged in a somber display, a testament to the destruction wrought by the conflict. In the background, the remnants of a cannon and other armaments are visible, further emphasizing the connection between war and the devastation of cultural artifacts. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of preserving history and culture, even in the face of war and destruction. The creator of this image remains unknown, adding to its mystery and intrigue. The photograph is presented in a panoramic, letterbox format, enhancing the sense of scale and scope of the devastation depicted. This unique and evocative image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the past and the impact of the First World War on France and its cultural heritage.
