EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Nos villes à sac; Une salle de la bibliothèque des avocats: comment les Allemands se comportèrent à Douai avant d'évacuer precipitamment la ville, le 16 octobre 1918', captures the aftermath of the German occupation of Douai, a city in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The image, from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts a room in the library of the Avocats, or lawyers, in Douai. The scene is one of devastation and destruction, with books and other items scattered haphazardly on the floor, and furniture overturned. The German soldiers, who had occupied the city since April 1917, had plundered and vandalized the library, along with many other buildings and institutions in Douai, before retreating in October 1918. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the destruction and chaos that war brings, and the devastating impact it can have on cultural institutions and the communities they serve. The exact circumstances of the photograph's creation are unknown, but it offers a powerful visual representation of the aftermath of the First World War in this French city. The photograph's title, 'Nos villes à sac', translates to 'Our cities sacked', and speaks to the widespread damage and destruction that occurred in many cities and towns across Europe during the conflict. The image is a testament to the resilience of communities in the face of adversity, and the importance of preserving cultural heritage for future generations.
