The image is a black and white aerial view of a large, rectangular structure in the middle of a desert-like landscape. The structure appears to be a fort or a fortification, with a large square in the center and several smaller structures surrounding it. The structures are arranged in a grid-like pattern, with some overlapping each other. The ground around the structure is covered in small rocks and boulders, and there are several roads and pathways winding around the edges of the structure. The image is captioned "Bei dem Angriff der 6, deutschen Armee unter Kronprinz Rupprecht von Bayern auf die "position de Nancy" which translates to "The fortification of Nancy" in English.
