Labeled as a view of a print shop in Verdun, this glass negative is a reminder of how a small French town came to stand for one of the longest and bloodiest battles of the First World War. The record gives no date, and the title is unverified, so the exact location and the shop's name cannot be confirmed here. The Bain News Service, a New York picture agency active from about 1900 to 1932, supplied news and feature photographs to newspapers, and its captions were often written quickly, so details like this one are worth checking against other sources.
