[World War I]. Three albums containing a total of 380...
[World War I]. Three albums containing a total of 380 mounted photographs, between ±12x16 and 30x40 cm., all (but a few) w. printed caption in Dutch mounted below, occas. numb. in the plate, contemp. unif. cl. w. "1914-1918." on frontcover, (2x narrow) obl. folio.
- One album large (water)stain on frontcover.
= Remarkable collection of photographs from various locations at the front (both East and West) as well as the hinterland. Seemingly taken from a German perspective, most photographs show German troops in action, French and British prisoners of war, German officers and high officials (incl. Kaiser Wilhelm) and their allies from i.a. Turkey and Bulgaria. Some of the captions also disclose a somewhat pro-German point of view (i.a. "Laatste opname van Generaal-Veldmaarschalk von Eichhorn in Kiëf (Oekraine) vergezeld van zijn Adjudant Hauptmann von Dressler, die beiden het slachtoffer werden van door Engelsch geld omgekochte moordenaars"). Also contains a few images from the German colonies in Eastern Africa. Possibly forming the photographic archive of one or more war-photographers. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XXXIX.
