The image is a stereoscopic photograph showing a scene of significant destruction and ruin. It features two nearly identical images side by side, a common characteristic of stereoscopic photography designed to create a three-dimensional effect when viewed through a stereoscope.

The photo captures a landscape filled with debris and the remains of structures. In the forefront, there are crumbled stone and brick ruins, and remnants of walls and buildings that have been severely damaged. The background shows more rubble and the sparse remains of a town.

A few people can be seen walking along a dirt road that runs through the center of the image, suggesting that life continues amid the destruction. The light in the photograph indicates it might be taken in the early morning or late afternoon.

The text on the divider between the two images reads "27. Ce qui reste de Sermaize," which translates from French to "What remains of Sermaize." This likely refers to the aftermath of World War I, during which towns like Sermaize-les-Bains in France were heavily bombarded and destroyed.

The image shows two nearly identical black and white photographs side by side, depicting a scene of wartime destruction. In the foreground are piles of rubble and debris, likely from destroyed buildings. In the background, a few damaged structures are still standing. Between the two photographs is a narrow strip with French text that reads "92 Ce qui reste de Sermaize", which translates to "92 What remains of Sermaize". This suggests the photographs show the aftermath of a battle or bombing in the town of Sermaize, France during one of the World Wars.

The image appears to be a historical photograph showing the aftermath of a significant destructive event, likely a war or natural disaster.
