A garden and a synagogue near Pol Boulhot Street in Verdun, a city in northeastern France, are the subjects here, though the title carries question marks because the Bain News Service recorded it without verification. Verdun was the site of one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War in 1916, and the Bain agency, based in New York, distributed news photographs to American newspapers in the years around that conflict. The record gives no date, so the view cannot be placed firmly before or after the fighting.
