Description: | image: In the centre of the composition stand two figures on a roof balcony overlooking the rooftops of Paris during a
night time Zeppelin raid. The middle-aged man, to the left is dressed in an unbuttoned day shirt only which barely reaches his knees. The
toes of his feet curl up in the cold night air. Beside him, to the right stands a young short-haired grisette, wearing only a short
chemise, a long fur boa and slippers. She holds the boa in place with both hands across her chest. Both figures, their backs leaning
against the metal balcony gaze up at the starry night sky. In the background boom the silhouettes of numerous chimney pots and the sky is
further illuminated by long almost horizontal beam of a searchlight which bleeds out of the composition at the top right
corner. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Bomb Damage women / womens work satirical civilian personnel Zeppelin Zeppelin raids on Paris 1915 Ferdinand A H von air raid / blitz | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Domergue, Jean-Gabriel | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
