EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting photograph captures the devastating impact of World War I on the once magnificent Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Soissons in France. The inset image serves as a stark contrast, showing the pre-war facade in all its intricate beauty. The cathedral, a symbol of faith and resilience for the people of Soissons, was reduced to rubble and ruin during the fierce battles that raged through the region in 1918. The rose window, a stunning architectural masterpiece, lies shattered on the ground, while the once tall and proud towers now lean precariously. The war's destructive force is evident in every broken pillar, every topped tower, and every cracked stone. The devastation wrought upon this sacred place serves as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the indelible mark it leaves on the landscape and the lives of those who experience it. The Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Soissons, like so many other historic sites, stood as a testament to the past, a symbol of history and culture, until the inexorable march of war tore it apart. Circa 1919.
