EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to Lemberg, Poland in the early 20th century. The image showcases a portion of the magnificent University Buildings, but what truly captures our attention are the hundreds of bullet holes that mar its facade. These battle scars serve as a poignant reminder of the years of street fighting that this resilient city endured. Taken on October 24,1921, by Central News, this monochrome photograph offers a glimpse into the turbulent history that shaped Lemberg. Each bullet hole tells a story of conflict and struggle, symbolizing both the resilience and fragility of humanity. The composition is strikingly beautiful yet hauntingly somber. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image while emphasizing every detail etched onto those walls. It's as if time has stood still within these buildings, frozen in an eternal moment where past meets present. As we gaze upon this photograph from TopFoto's Europeana Photography collection, we can't help but reflect on how far Lemberg has come since those tumultuous times. Today it stands as Lviv - a vibrant city known for its rich cultural heritage and architectural marvels. This print serves as a powerful testament to human endurance amidst adversity; it reminds us never to forget our history or take peace for granted.
