EDITORS COMMENTS
(What remained standing of the walls of Lens: In the midst of the indescribable chaos), 1918, is a haunting photograph that captures the aftermath of the Battle of Lens during the Hundred Days Offensive of World War I. The location of this image is Lens, a small town in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, which was heavily devastated by the relentless shelling and fighting between Allied and German forces. The photograph, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, shows the remnants of what was once a bustling town. The ruins of buildings, with their crumbled walls and shattered facades, stand in stark contrast to the barren, desolate landscape that surrounds them. The debris and rubble that covers the ground speak to the immense destruction that occurred during the battle. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the devastation and devastation wrought by the First World War.

It is a powerful visual representation of the impact of war on the landscape and the people who lived there.
