Straatgezicht in Straatsburg met ruïnes 1871

German Wolf's "Straatgezicht in Straatsburg met ruïnes" (1871) is a poignant photograph capturing the devastation of Strasbourg after the Franco-Prussian War. The image shows a street lined with ruined buildings, rubble strewn across the ground, and a glimpse of a distant spire, likely the Strasbourg Cathedral. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the destruction wrought by war and the resilience of the human spirit in rebuilding. It is a powerful document of history and a testament to the photographer's ability to capture the raw emotion of a city in the midst of its recovery.
