$22.00

An original photograph from a European traveler who visited many parts of war torn Europe in 1918-1919 just as the first world war was ending. Photographer and traveller name appears to be Sgt. Sessel.

Type & Size: A 2.5x4" original photograph.
Condition: Original from the end of the war and in fair antique condition. These originated from a scrapbook that was falling apart, and most photos have age wear, remnants of having been formerly mounted (residue on front or back), dirt, scratches, etc. Please see photos, which show a scan of both surfaces.

A lone woman stands against a backdrop of ruins and rubble, indicative of a war-torn landscape in Belgium, shortly after the First World War in 1919. She is dressed in period attire, suggesting she might be a civilian or traveler.

The year 1919 marked a transitional phase in Europe, with many regions undergoing reconstruction post-World War I. Belgium, in particular, faced significant rebuilding efforts as it was greatly affected by the war.

There are no visible signs, logos, or identifiable names in this photo. The woman remains unnamed.
