France, World War I. - Lot 363
France, World War I. A sheet of graph paper from a notebook, handwritten in black ink: “Be wary, keep quiet: Enemy ears are listening.” The bottom of the sheet features a stylized drawing of a Prussian soldier’s head with a large ear, wearing a spiked helmet. The reverse side is handwritten in ink. A charming artifact from the early days of the war (1915), when the French government of the time called on the public and soldiers to exercise discretion to prevent espionage and the leakage of strategic information. 13.5 x 21 cm. (Signs of wear and minor handling marks; in fairly good condition).
