German Soldiers. World War 1 Battlefield Stereoscopic Photographs. Unique. 1910s

Description: A rare collection of 14 glass stereoscopic images providing a graphic and at times harrowing insight into the lives of soldiers at the frontline in France during World War 1. The images, all of which are in the standard Richard Verascope (45mm x 107mm) format, include numerous hand-annotated examples showing the scenes at important battlegrounds including Fort de Vaux, The Somme, Noyon, Calonne, Bois le Pretre & Laffaux. All are French images, with annotation in the French language, but most depict the fate of German soldiers towards the end of the War. Among these harrowing scenes are images marked 'Cheval projeté dans un arbre par abus' (a horse projected into a tree by abuse), Un episode la prise de Montdidier' (An episode at Montdidier, in the Somme), 'Laffause: Boches fues dans leur sape' (Laffaux: Boches (a derogratory term for Germans) fled into their dugout), 'Laffause: Allemands Faisant 'Kamarad' (Laffaux, German 'comrades'), 'Des cadavres allemands déterrés pour des abus' (German corpses dug up for abuse), etc Thanks to the magic of stereoscopy, these images provide a remarkable illusion of three-dimensions. The technique involves two nearly identical photographs being taken, each from a slightly different angle. When the resulting images are viewed through a suitable stereoscope, the eyes are fooled into seeing three dimensions - almost like being there and witnessing these historic scenes at first hand. The result is quite astonishing. Please see my other listings if you would like to buy a stereoscope suitable for viewing these images in three dimensions. OFFERS: If considering making an offer please bear in mind that while eBay has now removed all charges for private sellers, its charges for business sellers continue to rise. For me, these currently stand at around 24%, making eBay by far the most expensive of the three platforms that I currently sell on. If you do make an offer, please do not be offended if it is rejected. I strive to offer only the best quality items at the most competitive prices that I can. Overseas buyers are welcome, import charges may apply. These slides will be carefully packed and promptly dispatched.
