This is a momentum commemorating the Good Friday church service of 1918. During the service, the bullet of a German so-called "Paris Gun", from the enormous range of about 130 kilometers, hit the roof of the church building, causing the collapse of the vault. There were 88 dead and 68 wounded. The plaque on the back describes the event. The artists name can be seen on the back as well. Aime Edmond Dallemagne (1882 - 1971) is a listed French artist. The etching is mounted under glass with a brown paper binding. The binding is heavily worn throughout. There is visible mildew throughout. less
