Description
Photograph of a captured German "Bertha" gun in the Place de la Concorde, Paris, ca.1916. The large artillery piece is at center and is aimed to the right. It has a stubby barrel, metal carriage, and large metal wheels. Two soldiers in long greatcoats are leaning against the gun and looking at the camera. Several other people are also nearby, and they too are looking at the camera. Several other guns are visible in the background, and the façade of a large palace provides a backdrop.
