World War I Glass Photo -
Bomb Damage to Place du Beffroi
Slide by Radiguet & Massiot, Paris
 

An original glass photo from a French collection of World War I photos. Shows extensive bomb/shelling damage to Place du Beffroi in Arras, France.  There are 3 soldiers standing in front of the rubble. Likely for projection in a magic lantern. There are labels on each side, one handwritten identifying the subject, and the other a manufacturer's label. Looks better than shown in my handheld digital photos. 3.75" x 3.25".


Please see the other historic glass photos I have listed in my store, Maxitivity.
