A printer's shop in Paris, damaged by a bomb dropped from an aircraft, is the subject here, and the record gives no date for the damage. Paris was bombed from the air during the First World War, when German planes and airships struck the city, so the scene likely reflects that wartime danger to ordinary businesses. The image comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that distributed news photographs, and its glass negatives record how such events reached American newspapers. The title comes from caption information the agency supplied, which has not been independently verified.
