The crew of a British Talbot Armoured Car greets the Mayor of Ghent, Emile Braun. Belgium, October 1914.

 
The crew of a British Talbot Armoured Car greets the Mayor of Ghent, Emile Braun, presiding over a patriotic parade, in which Belgian Minerva Armoured Cars also took part, a few days before the city was occupied (October 12, 1914) by the Germans.

NOTE

The building that is behind the armored car is part of four other buildings from different periods, and that together, united, make up the Ghent City Hall, forming an unusual block that some architect has defined as "a schizophrenic building", although Actually, this architectural complex does not lack, extreme beauty in each of its phases.

La tripulación de un coche blindado británico Talbot saluda al alcalde de Gantes, Emile Braun, presidiendo un desfile patriótico, en el que también intervinieron coches blindados belgas Minerva, pocos días antes de ser ocupada la ciudad (12 de octubre de 1914) por los alemanes.

NOTA

El edificio que está a la espalda del coche blindado forma parte de otros cuatro edificios de diferentes épocas, y que juntos, unidos, constituyen el Ayuntamiento de Gante, formando una insólita manzana que algún arquitecto a definido como "un edificio esquizofrénico", aunque realmente, este conjunto arquitectónico no carezca en absoluto, de extrema belleza en cada una de sus fases.
