EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the passage of German troops through Brussels during World War I. Taken from The Manchester Guardian History of the War - 1914, Vol. I. , this image showcases the bustling streets filled with people, both male and female, witnessing this monumental event. The focus of the photograph is on the Bourse, Belgium's stock exchange building, which stands tall amidst the chaos. Its grand architectural features and imposing portico provide a stark contrast to the crowded streets below. Trams can be seen navigating through the throngs of civilians as they go about their daily lives against the backdrop of war. The elevated view offers a unique perspective on this wartime scene, allowing us to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its visual impact. The monochrome setting adds an air of solemnity to the image, emphasizing that it was taken during a time when nations were at conflict. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how war affected ordinary people going about their daily routines. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights both resilience and vulnerability in times of turmoil.
