EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the Dannemarie Viaduct in northern France during the tumultuous years of World War I. The 493-meter long stone arched railway viaduct, built in 1862, stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and the destructive power of war. The image showcases the bridge's impressive architecture, with its elegant arches spanning over the River Largue. However, it also reveals signs of immense damage inflicted upon it throughout history. Having been destroyed and rebuilt four times - in 1870,1914,1915, and 1944 - this resilient structure has witnessed unimaginable destruction. As we gaze at this monochrome scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the devastating impact that war can have on our world. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. Through this print from a series of glass plate stereoview images depicting scenes from WWI, we gain insight into an era marked by turmoil and resilience. It is a powerful visual representation that transports us back to a time when transportation infrastructure was not only crucial for daily life but also became targets for destruction amidst conflict. This print is more than just an artistic composition; it encapsulates history itself – a symbol of both mankind's ability to rebuild after devastation and our collective responsibility to strive for peace amid chaos.
