De magnifiques arbres ombrageaient les grandes routes menant à Liège
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The magnificent trees shaded the main roads leading to Liège), is a poignant photograph from the first world war era, taken in 1914. The image, captured by an unknown photographer, is a haunting reminder of the destructive impact of war on nature and the natural beauty of the Belgian landscape. The photograph depicts a group of men standing in front of a row of felled trees, blocking the main roads leading to the city of Liège. The trees, once a beautiful and peaceful obstacle against the harsh elements, now serve as a formidable barrier against the invading German forces. The men, dressed in heavy coats and hats, appear determined and resolute, as they stand guard over the fallen trees, ready to defend their homeland. The photograph is a powerful visual representation of the events leading up to the Battle of Liège, one of the first major engagements of the First World War. The city, located in eastern Belgium, was a key strategic point for the German forces, who sought to advance towards Paris. The trees, which once provided shade and shelter to travelers, were now sacrificed for the greater good, as they served as a crucial obstacle against the German advance. The photograph is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" (The War Album 1914-1919, Volume I), published by L'Illustration, a French news magazine based in Paris, in 1924. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring impact of war on the natural world. The photograph also serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Belgium, who stood firm against the invading forces, despite the odds being stacked against them.
