| 520 | _a"The Bombardment of Reims" by Barr Ferree is a historical account written in the early 20th century during the period of World War I. The work focuses on the relentless bombardment that the city of Reims and its famed cathedral endured from September 1914 to September 1917, detailing the extensive destruction wrought by artillery and aerial attacks throughout this significant conflict. The narrative captures the profound loss felt by both the local population and the broader world as one of Europe's artistic and architectural treasures faced near annihilation. The opening of the text establishes a solemn tone, emphasizing the outrage and sorrow following the catastrophic events in Reims. It recounts the sense of gradual destruction that unfolded over three years, with regular bombardments described in chilling detail. As the author sets the stage, he reflects on the limited media coverage of these tragedies, highlighting the disconnect between the experiences of those in the besieged city and the world's perception of the war. Through this, the introduction lays a foundation for the subsequent detailed chronologies and accounts, painting a vivid picture of the horrors faced by the residents and the cultural significance of what was lost.
