EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 20th century, amidst the chaos of World War One. Standing tall against a backdrop of destruction, we see the magnificent church tower of Notre Dame de Brebières in Albert. The church, also known as Our Lady of the Ewes, holds a significant place in history. In February 1915, tragedy struck when a German shell hit this sacred site. However, hope prevailed as French engineers came to its rescue. In an incredible feat of engineering prowess and determination, they managed to fix the leaning statue of the virgin and child at right angles to the building. The image captures both devastation and resilience; it serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst war and conflict, faith endures. The juxtaposition between wreckage and religious symbolism is strikingly powerful. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints by Tom Grant, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how communities rallied together during times of adversity. This image encapsulates not only architectural beauty but also human strength and unwavering devotion. Let this picture be a testament to our ability to rebuild what has been broken – physically or spiritually – reminding us that even in our darkest moments, there is always room for restoration and renewal.
