Summary edit

Description
English: Bombed out town hall, Arras, France, during World War I. This image shows what is left of the town hall in Arras. The damage we can see has been caused by bombing or shelling. It is still possible to see much of the grand exterior. In the foreground there are piles of rubble, in the middle of which a spiral staircase is left standing.

Throughout the war Arras was under constant bombardment due to its proximity to the front line. As can be seen by this photograph, the damage caused was extensive. Scenes such as this were commonly used as propaganda, intended to reaffirm resolve against the enemy.
[Original reads: 'Htel de Ville, Arras.']
