3178 THE CATHEDRAL OF REIMS, AND STREET RESTORED SINCE THE WORLD WAR, FRANCE Before us, marvelous in its grace of outline and richness of decoration, towers the cathedral of Reims, for 700 years one of the chief architectural glories and historic shrines of France. The main part of the building was completed by the year 1300; the west front, at which we are looking, during the following century. Most of the kings of France were crowned in this church, or in one of the earlier structures which preceded it, from the time of the coronation of Clovis in 496 to that of Charles X in 1824. The most notable of these many coronations was that of Charles VII, who was conducted to Reims for the ceremony by Joan of Arc in 1429, after her victory over the English at Orleans. In September, 1914, after their retreat from the Marne, the Germans bombarded Reims heavily. The cathedral suffered very severely, many of the priceless sculptures and much of the stone carving, both of its exterior and its interior, being damaged beyond repair by projectiles and by fire. Since the close of the war, however, painstaking restoration has been carried on, largely through the financial aid of certain wealthy Americans, so that the structure today begins to present once more much of its original perfection of form and detail. The city itself, though sections of it, such as the street along which we are looking, have been rebuilt, con- tains large areas which are still in ruins. Years will elapse before it can be thoroughly restored, and the population, which in 1914 amounted t 110,000 people, was still less than 75,000 in 1926. Copyright by The Keystone View Company
