Rouen, 1917

Rouen, 1917, by Marcel Augis (pseudonym of H. Dupont). A number of WW1 French and Belgian artists, including Marcel Augis, trod the battlefields of the Western Front during 1914-1918. They recorded the devastation and the areas containing Allied troops. Many of these etchings/aquatints were sold to soldiers returning home after the war or subsequently purchased on the many battlefield remembrance tours which took place in the 1920s and 1930s. Date: 1917
