EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the haunting aftermath of the First and Second Battles of Ypres in 1915. The photo print, taken from the War Illustrated Album Deluxe published in London in 1916, showcases the devastating ruins that befell this historic Belgian city during World War I. Dominating the foreground is the majestic Cloth Hall Front, a symbol of Ypres' medieval prosperity and architectural grandeur. Now reduced to rubble, its skeletal remains stand as a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought by war. Behind it looms the Cathedral of Saint Martin, partially obscured by smoke and debris. Once a place of worship and solace for locals, it now stands as a testament to human resilience amidst chaos. The desolate landscape stretches out beyond these two major buildings, revealing an entire city ravaged by conflict. The scars left behind are evident in every corner - shattered homes, crumbling facades, and streets lined with debris. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to reflect on the immense toll war takes on both people and places. It serves as a powerful visual reminder that even centuries-old structures can be reduced to mere fragments under relentless bombardment. As we gaze upon this image frozen in time, we are compelled to remember those who lived through such devastation and honor their enduring spirit amidst unimaginable adversity.
