Floors Fallen Through, Maison de la Mutualite Post German Bombing, Reims, France, c. 1915 Photograph

As handwritten on the reverse, this photograph was taken at the "Maison de la Mutualite" ("House of Mutual Aid," a center built to house healthcare and nonprofit mutual insurance funds for workers) in Reims, France, documenting damage in the immediate aftermath of German bombing during WWI. This appears to be a period print, the image I believe taken by a photo journalist; the same image was featured in a 2025 exhibition at the Reims City Hall, all about the destruction incurred to Reims during the war.  Quite a dramatic image, and quite an existential feeling one too--starting down into the void, with another void overhead.

7 1/16" x 5 1/8". Good condition, with some edge curling as shown.
