Collection of Stereoscopic Photographs from World War I, 6 x 13 cm. France

An interesting collection of twenty-four 6 x 13 cm glass plates featuring stereoscopic photographs depicting scenes from World War I in various locations throughout France. The plates are in good condition and come in their original cardboard box. The sepia-toned images are all labeled and named in French, making it possible to identify the events they depict and the locations where they were taken.

The undeniable historical value of these images adds to their appeal and vintage charm. The plates feature striking images of destroyed German tanks, soldiers posing next to military equipment, and combat from the trenches... These unique artifacts reveal the harsh reality of war on the front lines. The stereoscopic plates are designed to be viewed in a stereoscope; when viewed from a certain distance, the two images create an optical illusion that allows us to see the image with depth.

The glass plates are stored in their original cardboard box, lined with paper, and a sheet printed with information about the collection is affixed to the lid. These are "GAMMA" plates from the French brand "LE DRAGON," and the printed text includes the ideal formula for developing the images and the exposure times. We also find the address of the store where the plates were originally purchased.

This wonderful collection of stereoscopic war images is undoubtedly a unique and original item-a veritable archive of memories about one of the major events of the 20th century-that will delight any enthusiast of military antiques and the study of contemporary history.

Plate dimensions: 6 cm high x 13 cm wide.
