Pulling Down Part of the Old Town Hall
Sudek watched the course of events on Old Town Square and the changes to the Old Town Hall unfold during the days immediately after the end of the war, and in the following years as well. Therefore his images include the whole northern part of the town hall after the fire, the course of its demolition and in the end the ruin of the eastern wing behind the scaffolding which remained in the same place for several years after the war. The scaffolding is captured in a total of nine negatives, in rainy weather and fog veiling its construction.
