Summary

Description
English: The city of Reims and its famous cathedral in an undated picture from the First World War, probably taken by the end of 1916. The cathedral was deliberately shelled by the German forces, an act that would currently qualify as a war crime (but not in 1916). See: http://www.icrc.org/eng/war-and-law/conduct-hostilities/cultural-property/overview-cultural-property.htm
Français : Une vue depuis le nord est de la cathédrale avec les destructions visibles sur le quartier et la cathédrale, date probable, 1916.
Nederlands: Reims en zijn beroemde kathedraal tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog in een foto die mogelijk dateert van eind 1916. De kathedraal werd in 1914 doelbewust door de Duitsers in brand geschoten, een daad die nu als een oorlogsmisdaad zou worden beschouwd, zie: http://www.icrc.org/eng/war-and-law/conduct-hostilities/cultural-property/overview-cultural-property.htm
Date 1914-1916 (probably late 1916)
