EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting print captures the devastating aftermath of an air raid in London during the First World War. The image shows a house on Leman Street in East London, reduced to rubble and wreckage after being hit by a bomb dropped by a Zeppelin airship on 14th October 1915. The destruction is evident as the once-standing structure now lies in ruins, serving as a stark reminder of the horrors of war.
The damage inflicted upon this house is not just physical but also symbolic of the larger impact that war has on communities and individuals. It represents the loss and suffering experienced by those caught in the crossfire of conflict, highlighting the fragility of human life amidst such destructive forces.
