The image is a black and white photograph of a construction site. The site appears to be in the early 20th century, as there are several buildings and factories visible in the background. The buildings are made of brick and appear to be under construction. In the foreground, there is a large pile of rubble and debris, with a few workers scattered around. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is bleak and desolate. The photograph is captioned "Die riesenhafte Explosion des großen Munitionslagers vor Lille am 12. Januar 1916. Vom Magazin bleib nicht als ein gewaltiger Trichter. Im Hintergrunde durch die Explosion zerstätte Fabrikken."
