This print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Second World War. Captured in June 1942, it showcases the devastating aftermath of an air raid on Canterbury Cathedral, located in the heart of Kent, England. The image highlights the immense damage inflicted upon this iconic structure during one of many relentless bombings that plagued the home front. The black and white composition portrays a scene of utter destruction and chaos. The once majestic cathedral now lies amidst piles of rubble, its grandeur reduced to fragments scattered across its surroundings. This haunting visual serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors endured by both civilians and historic landmarks alike during this tumultuous period.
