EDITORS COMMENTS
. This powerful print captures the chilling aftermath of war, showcasing the ruins of the once-thriving French town of Arras during World War I. Taken circa 1916 by Mortimer, this poignant image from Hulton Archive/Getty Images transports us back to a time when conflict ravaged Europe. The scene is one of utter destruction and desolation. The landscape is littered with debris, remnants of buildings reduced to rubble by relentless bombing. The sheer magnitude of damage inflicted upon this historic town is evident in every corner captured within the frame. As we gaze at this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of solemnity and empathy for those who lived through such unimaginable horrors. It serves as a stark reminder that war leaves behind scars that extend far beyond its immediate conclusion.
