Remains of a large tank from a munitions factory that exploded in Oosterweel near Antwerp in 1889, Le grand tank, page, photomechanical print, number: '18', photographer: Albéric Lunden, Oosterweel, cliché maker: anonymous, Belgium, printer (person): J. Maes (possibly), Antwerp, 1889, printer (person), paper, collotype, photoprint, height 165 mm x width 230 mm, Image on page 18., ruin of a building, architecture, Explosion of a munitions factory in Oosterweel in 1889, A wide scene of rubble and ruined brick walls stretches across the image, with broken bricks and debris scattered densely in the foreground and middle ground. Partially standing brick walls with jagged tops form uneven outlines, and collapsed wooden beams lie atop some of the masonry. In the background a large cylindrical tank with a weathered surface rises behind the ruins, its curved form showing panels and patches. Two small human figures stand near an open doorway in one of the remaining walls, appearing among the destruction. Sparse vertical poles and masts are visible behind the lower ruins, and the overall tone of the image is monochrome and aged.
