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 3.5x2.5" 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 historical photograph depicting a quaint village scene in La Turbie, France, taken in 1919. The central feature is the church tower, set against a backdrop of rolling hills and rustic buildings, capturing the serene charm of the post-WWI European countryside.
La Turbie, located in southeastern France near Monaco, is known for the ancient Roman Trophy of Augustus. In 1919, Europe was transitioning from the aftermath of World War I, and sites like La Turbie remained intact, offering tourists and photographers a glimpse of enduring European history and architecture.
