EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the haunting streets of Rue Ceres in Reims, northern France, during the tumultuous years of World War I. The image, captured on a glass plate stereoview, showcases the devastating aftermath of war that left no building unscathed. The once vibrant city now lies in ruins as debris and rubble litter the streets. The monochrome composition emphasizes the stark contrast between what was once a bustling urban landscape and its current state of destruction. Tramlines traverse through the desolate scene, serving as a poignant reminder of how life came to an abrupt halt during this dark period in history. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, our minds are filled with questions about those who walked these very streets and witnessed firsthand the horrors of war. Who were they? What stories did they carry within them? While the photographer remains unknown, their work has preserved an important chapter in our collective memory. This photograph serves as a testament to resilience amidst chaos and reminds us never to forget the sacrifices made during World War I.
