Captioned as Verdun, Barracks, this glass negative comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection at the Library of Congress, where the title is recorded as unverified and no date is given. Verdun, the fortified town on the Meuse in northeastern France, became synonymous with a long and bloody battle in 1916, which gives a plain military subject added weight. The Bain News Service, a New York agency that sent news pictures to newspapers in the early twentieth century, made images like this for readers following the war.
