Carrefour de la Croix Rouge, View of a destroyed building at Carrefour de la Croix Rouge, photograph, page, 1871, photographer, paper, albumen print, albumendruk, height 101 mm x width 151 mm, street, theater (building), Paris, A sepia-toned scene of a heavily damaged multi-story building with large sections of facade missing and exposed interior walls, empty window openings, and crumbling plaster. The ground in front of the building is covered in a chaotic pile of rubble, broken stones, and timber debris. A partially intact doorway frame stands amid the debris, and fragments of architectural details lie scattered. Adjacent buildings show worn exteriors and shuttered or open windows, while a narrow street or waterway runs alongside the row of structures. The overall appearance is one of widespread structural collapse and scattered building materials.
