EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "The Race War: A Military Hangar Destroyed in Philippeville," is a poignant photograph from the First World War era, captured in 1914. The image, which originated from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I," published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926, depicts the aftermath of the naval bombardment of French facilities in Philippeville, Algeria. The photograph captures the destruction caused by the German warships Goeben and Breslau, which had invaded the port of Philippeville (now known as Skikda) in North Africa. The image shows the ruins of a military warehouse, its once sturdy walls now reduced to rubble, with debris scattered around the area. The waterfront in the background is dotted with ships and boats, some damaged, some undamaged, adding to the chaotic scene. The photograph is a stark reminder of the devastating effects of war, particularly naval warfare, on civilian infrastructure and the lives of those who depended on it. The image transports us back to a time of colonialism and empires, when European powers vied for control of resources and territories across the continents. The photograph is a testament to the destructive power of war and the resilience of those who endured it. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image. It serves as a reminder of the past, a reminder of the consequences of war, and a reminder of the importance of peace and unity in our world today. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to the First World War and the history of North Africa.
