Houses in Badonviller

War Department · 1918-04

Ink wash sketch on heavy white card. Facade of a house showing the effects of recent bombardments. Two soldiers sitting up against a stairway; another soldier stands in the road. The dugout cellar shelter depicted is characteristic of where soldiers lived during the war. A label affixed to the bottom of the sketch reads: "HOUSES IN BADONVILLER/BY E. PEIXOTTO/TRANSFERRED FROM THE WAR DEPARTMENT/2995." This label is glued over another illegible label.
