EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to a significant moment in history - October 13th, 1915. The image showcases the interior of Lincolns Inn Chapel, nestled in the heart of Holborn, London. However, what immediately catches our attention is the devastating sight of a shattered stained glass window. This destruction was caused by none other than a German Zeppelin bomb during World War I. The photograph allows us to witness firsthand the impact of war on sacred spaces. The intricate details and vibrant colors that once adorned this window now lie scattered across the chapel floor, serving as a poignant reminder of the violence that unfolded during those turbulent times. Despite its somber atmosphere, there is an undeniable beauty in this image - one that emerges from both resilience and history itself. It serves as a testament to human strength and determination to rebuild even amidst chaos and destruction. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of the horrors endured but also of how far we have come since then. It stands as a symbol of hope and unity - reminding us to cherish peace while honoring those who fought valiantly for it. Through this powerful photograph captured by Historic England Archive, we are transported back to an era defined by conflict but also marked by resilience and restoration.
