Le Fort de Vaux, recaptured on November 2, 1916 - oblique view, from an airplane at low height
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a striking photograph that captures the bleak and desolate landscape of the Fort de Vaux during the First World War. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from the publication "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The photograph offers an aerial and oblique view of the fort, which had been the site of intense fighting during the Battle of Verdun. The fortification, located in Vaux-devant-Damloup, Meuse, Grand Est, France, Europe, had been under German control since February 1916, but was recaptured by the French forces on November 2 of that year. The low-angle perspective of the photograph provides a unique and birds-eye view of the fort in its current state. The fortifications, which were once imposing and formidable, now appear damaged and worn, a testament to the brutal and destructive nature of war. The image is devoid of color, adding to the somber and melancholic mood. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the events of the 11th month of the 1st World War, a time when the war was drawing to a close but the devastation and loss were still palpable. The image is a valuable historical document, capturing a moment in time that is both significant and poignant. The creator of the photograph is unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue of the image. It is a reminder that there are still many untold stories of the First World War, waiting to be discovered and shared with future generations. Overall, "Le Fort de Vaux, recaptured on November 2, 1916: oblique view, from an airplane at low height" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the essence of the First World War and the impact it had on the world. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made during that time and the importance of preserving historical records for future generations.
