The Great War.
Quote:
   Soldier's Lunch A French soldier at the Place Royal in the city of Reims, France Picture made in spring 1917. The German army repeatedly attacked the old city of Reims. Shells brought heavy damage to the medieval buildings and to the famous cathedral. France sent thousands of soldiers to the city to defend it. Many poilu's had to find billets in the ruins. They ate and washed in the streets. The photograph above is an autochrome color picture. This photocolor process was invented in the beginning of the 20th century by the Lumière brothers. We have 250 color pictures from the Great War: many of these original autochromes and others artificially tinted.
