'Ypres. The Cloth Hall', 1914 (c)

Lantern slide by Newton and Company, with the 'Netownian' trademark used in the 1910s.

The thirteenth-century Cloth Hall at Ypres, one of the finest examples of Flemish medieval civic architecture and the economic heart of the town. The gradual destruction of Ypres during the war was epitomised by that of the Cloth Hall, which also came to symbolise the effect of war upon western civilisation. Since the war, the Cloth Hall has been meticulously rebuilt to its original form and it now houses the Flanders Fields Museum.
