EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the remains of the altar in the ruins of Arras Cathedral, a historic landmark in the northern French city of the same name, during the First World War in March 1917. The cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, was severely damaged during the intense fighting between Allied and German forces on the Western Front. The photo offers a poignant glimpse into the devastation wrought by the Great War, with the altar, a symbol of faith and spirituality, lying amidst the wreckage of the once magnificent structure. The altar, with its intricate carvings and ornate details, stands out against the backdrop of the cathedral's shattered walls and broken columns. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the destructive impact of war on history, culture, and human lives. The ruins of Arras Cathedral, like many other war-torn sites, continue to hold significant historical and emotional value, inspiring reflection and remembrance of the past.
