EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark reality of St. Quentin, France during World War I, under German occupation in 1916. The Place de Hotel de Ville, the town square and central hub of St. Quentin, stands desolate and transformed. German military transport wagons occupy the square, their rusted metal and worn tires a stark contrast to the ornate signage of the surrounding buildings. At the center of the square, the grand Theatre Royal, once a cultural beacon of the town, now serves as a War Cinema (Kriegs-Kino). The once ornate marquee, now adorned with German signage, beckons soldiers to come and rest, to momentarily escape the horrors of the battlefield through the magic of cinema. The empty chairs and dimly lit stage speak to the absence of the town's civilians, who have been forced to flee or are being held captive elsewhere. The once bustling town square now stands as a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of war, a poignant snapshot of history frozen in time.
