Reims france la cathedrale damage after world war i
Unused Postcard That Has Not Been Postmarked.
Condition: Very good condition with slight wear along edges & corners.
German shellfire during the opening engagements of the First World War
on 20 September 1914 burned, damaged and destroyed important parts of
the cathedral. Scaffolding around the north tower caught fire, spreading
the blaze to all parts of the carpentry superstructure. The lead of the
roofs melted and poured through the stone gargoyles,
destroying in turn the bishop's palace. Restoration work began in 1919,
under the direction of Henri Deneux, a native of Reims and chief
architect of the _Monuments Historiques_; the cathedral was fully reopened in 1938, thanks in part to financial support from the Rockefellers, but work has been steadily going on since.
Ok, now the fine print: Almost all of our paper items are shipped within the US using USPS First Class. A few very heavy paper items may go via Media Mail, to save the customer shipping costs.
