Description: 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. This photograph depicts the ruins of a building in Ypres, Belgium, in 1919. The landscape is scattered with debris and the remnants of structures, showcasing the aftermath of World War I. The area appears desolate, with barren trees and a gray, somber atmosphere surrounding the ruins.Ypres was a focal point during World War I, enduring numerous battles and heavy bombardment, leading to widespread destruction. The extensive damage seen in the photograph reflects the city's turbulent history during the war. Post-war, Ypres became a symbol of remembrance and recovery, with reconstruction efforts beginning shortly after.
