Description
Photograph of the interior of a church in Paris after being hit by a bomb, ca.1915. The room shown is a large room with extremely high ceilings. A massive pipe organ is on the back wall at left, and a series of archways forms the wall at right. The middle of the room is occupied by a row of chairs facing the organ, and in front of the chairs is a large pile of rubble caused by the bomb. There are several statues along the wall at right, and a chandelier hangs down from the ceiling at left. Except for the rubble, the church does not appear damaged.
