Reims is the setting here, and the cathedral city's ruined streets and church stand out as the defining detail of this stereograph. Taken in 1918, the view shows a church reduced to broken walls and heaped rubble, the kind of damage that German artillery inflicted on Reims during the final years of the war. The city, a major center of Champagne and the traditional site for French coronations, was shelled repeatedly from 1914 onward, and its cathedral was badly damaged. Stereographs like this one were widely sold in the early twentieth century, so the pair of slightly offset images was meant to give viewers a three-dimensional sense of the wreckage.
