This stereoscopic card depicts skeletons returning to hell after a war, created by an anonymous artist between 1868 and 1873. The image, housed at the Rijksmuseum, uses a dark, graphic style to depict the skeletons, referencing the grim reality of war and its impact on human life. The title, "Grande Récolte 200,000 Ames," translates to "Great Harvest 200,000 Souls," suggesting a vast scale of loss and suffering. The image's visual impact relies on its stark imagery, drawing the viewer into the macabre scene. This piece is a powerful commentary on war's destructive power.
