Magnificent Collection of 20 Stereoscopic Glass Slides Featuring Scenes from World War I. 6 x 13 cm

Magnificent collection of twenty stereoscopic glass slides featuring photographic scenes from World War I, measuring 6 x 13 cm. The collection of plates is in good condition and retains the sepia tone characteristic of vintage images, giving it a very special nostalgic appeal. The stereoscopic plates are preserved in their original cardboard box lined with paper, with a printed sheet affixed to the lid detailing instructions on developing the images, exposure times, and the address of the establishment where the collection was originally purchased.

The cover also bears the name of the French brand that published the collection, "LE DRAGON," and indicates that this is a set of "GAMMA" plates. Inside the box are the twenty plates, each containing two stereoscopic images. The plates are placed in a stereoscope, which creates a visual effect that allows the images to be viewed in three dimensions.

The scenes are a faithful record of World War I, depicting artillery battalions, victory parades, battle scenes, and trenches... These unique images capture the atmosphere of wartime. Each plate is hand-labeled in French, indicating the event depicted, the location where it occurred, the photograph's number, and the year.

This set of stereoscopic glass plates is a piece of great historical and artistic interest that will delight those interested in contemporary history and lovers of unique antique pieces.

Plate dimensions: 60 mm high x 130 mm wide.
