France, 1st World War. - Lot 97

France, 1st World War. Lot of 79 positive stereoscopic views (Lumière) on glass plates. These stereoscopic views are taken on glass plates, using a stereoscope to obtain an image in relief. They show trenches, battlefields, prisoners, corpses, ruins and victory. Information on the events and places photographed is summarily indicated by handwritten inscriptions on some of the plates. These sepia-toned views transport us to a distant past, allowing us to reproduce the world of the time. Exceptional documentation, rich in detail and indispensable to all collectors and enthusiasts of the 1st World War. Some of the views are very harsh, reflecting the sad reality of war... Presented in their original cardboard box. They come with two viewers (fairly good condition). Format 4.5 x 10.5 cm.
