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. A stark landscape in Flanders Fields, Belgium, is captured in this 1919 photograph. The image shows a desolate and barren field with tall tree stumps, remnants of once lush forests decimated by war. A crude structure, possibly a wartime bunker or shelter, sits in the middle ground, surrounded by a stark, lifeless terrain.Flanders Fields, famously captured in John McCrae's poem, was a major battleground during World War I, experiencing intense and prolonged conflict, particularly trench warfare. The area became symbolic of the war's devastation and the lives lost. By 1919, the war had ended, leaving behind scarred landscapes like the one depicted in this photo. The scene reflects the destruction faced by many European regions during and immediately after the war.There is no visible text or identifiable people in the photo.
