Description: | signed Bertin
titled
image: The ruins of Saint-Mihiel. Left of centre of the composition stands a small corner or stump of a building
demolished by bombardment and surrounded by rubble. In the foreground, to the right, a memorial obelisk to the fallen of the Franco-
Prussian War of 1870. Designed in the classical/renaissance style it stands untouched, its tip adorned by a fresh wreath. The memorial is
surrounded by a small patch of grass and metal railings. In the background a scene of desolation: to the left the River Meuse is spanned
by a temporary wooden bridge. A pink and grey sunset pervades the whole. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | 01/3(4-15) memorial Landscape Architecture looting / destruction | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Bertin | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
