EDITORS COMMENTS
(Fort Vaux, recaptured November 2; seen from the south), 1916 is a striking photograph capturing the aftermath of the Battle of Verdun during the First World War. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" (Collection of the War IV. The Illustration Volume CXLVIII. The War July, August, September, October, November, December 1916) and provides a poignant glimpse into the bleak and desolate landscape of the Western Front during the eleventh month of the war. The photograph depicts the hillside leading up to Fort Vaux, a significant fortification located near the town of Damloup in the Meuse region of France. The fort had been under German control since February 1916, but on November 2, 1916, the French forces managed to recapture it after a fierce and bloody battle. The photograph captures the fort and its surroundings from the south, revealing the devastation wrought by the conflict. The hills and hillside are scarred by the marks of artillery fire, with trees and vegetation reduced to stumps and the ground covered in debris. The fort itself appears as a dark and imposing silhouette against the grey sky, its walls and towers bearing the scars of battle. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the devastating impact it can have on the land and the people who inhabit it. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Verdun and the enduring legacy of the First World War. The photograph's origins are unknown, but its haunting beauty and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of First World War imagery.
