'Collier's'

 

an American National Weekly Magazine

an erroneously captioned photo : Brussels was an unfortified city
this was taken at one of the Antwerp forts

Other sources identify this photo as siege guns being brought
into place during the fight for Antwerp, not afterwards

After the fall of the city : a view taken from about halfway across the pontoon bridge

German soldiers in the process of clearing railway tracks of a 'wild train'.

 

'Collier's' published a yearly photo review of war photographs. The four photos above are taken from a 1917 and a 1919 edition. The contents differed from year to year.
