EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Hotel de la Noble Rose, a magnificent 16th-century hotel and cafe located in Furnes (Veurne), Belgium. During the early 20th century, this historic establishment served as a headquarters for both the King of the Belgians and the Belgium Army. However, its peaceful existence was abruptly shattered during World War One when it fell victim to German shelling. In this poignant image from circa October 1914, we witness soldiers and local citizens coming together amidst the aftermath of destruction. With determination etched on their faces, they scour through piles of rubble in search of shrapnel left behind by the devastating attack. The scene is filled with a sense of unity as men from different walks of life join forces to rebuild what has been lost. The damage inflicted upon this architectural gem serves as a haunting reminder of the horrors endured during wartime. Yet even amidst chaos and despair, there is an undeniable resilience that emanates from these individuals who refuse to be defeated. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly for their country's freedom. May their bravery inspire us to cherish peace and strive for harmony in our own lives today.
