The image is a black and white photograph of the ruins of a church. The church appears to be in a state of disrepair, with broken windows and debris scattered around the area. The walls and arches are crumbling and the roof is covered in rubble. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is one of destruction and devastation. The photograph is captioned "Die zerschlossene Kathedrale der am 26. Marz 1918 eroberten franzischen Stadt Albert, Die Kirche wurde nach der Einrichtung von den Engländern vollends in Trümmer geschlossen" which translates to "The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Church of St. Albert, after the bombing of the Church on 26. March 1918".
