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.
The photograph depicts a coastal scene along Zeebrugge in Belgium, showing the remnants of wartime defenses such as wooden structures and barbed wire. The beach setting hints at a tranquil yet historically significant location shortly after the end of World War I in July 1919.
Zeebrugge was a strategic port for the Germans during World War I, and its capture or evacuation likely left numerous remnants and defenses. The area was pivotal in the war effort due to its proximity to shipping routes and its role in military operations. Following the war, the site would have been of interest to travelers for its historical significance.
No specific text, signs, or identifiable logos are visible in the photo, and there are no known individuals present.
