EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph that offers a haunting glimpse into the destructive power of aerial warfare during the First World War. The image, created by an unknown photographer, depicts the aftermath of a French air raid on the strategic Macedonian town of Petritch, located in present-day Bulgaria. During the preparatory stages of the war on the Eastern Front, communications reported numerous aerial bombings of Monastir and Petritch, a key concentration point for German and Bulgarian forces. Following this particular bombing, French observers reported no less than twenty-seven fires in the town. The photograph presents a birds-eye view of Petritch, with the town's architecture and streets obscured by thick plumes of smoke. The image conveys the devastating impact of the bombing campaign, leaving the viewer to ponder the human cost of the conflict. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the First World War's use of aerial warfare, which marked a significant shift in military strategy. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from the publication "La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" by "L'Illustration." The photograph's historical significance makes it an essential addition to any collection focused on the First World War, military history, or the Balkans.
