  I believe this is from the 1911 food riots in France -- the photograph actually says St. Quentin. Plus the french sign in the background and the cobblestone streets would indicate france as well.

• jlminor said:

  Yes, the broken door reads "estaminet" which means bistro or small cafe in french.

• Dominoa said:

  C'est incontestablement à Saint-Quentin en France www.mappy.com/mappymoi/map?data_id=7C20C34E-698C-45B6-86F... Il doit s'agir des manifestations d'aout et septembre 1911.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Appreciate the extra confirmation from three sources! We'll update the description.

• Richard Norton said:

  Saint-Quentin is a commune in the Aisne départment in Picardy in northern France. It has been identified as the Augusta Veromanduorum of antiquity. It is named after Saint Quentin, who is said to have been martyred here in the 3rd century. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint-Quentin,_France
