This picture takes its subject from a 1917 French exhibition on regional architecture in the provinces overrun by German forces, with its title naming a region that had been under occupation or fighting since 1914. By 1917 the front had cut through the north and east of France for three years, and shelling and occupation had damaged or destroyed many of the villages and towns whose farmhouses, churches and town houses reflected local materials and building customs. Exhibitions like this one let French audiences see a heritage the war was erasing, at a time when its future was still uncertain.
