[WORLD WAR I]. Original photo album of a German Army (Heer) officer. [N.p., ca. 1915]. Photos are various 8vo to 12mo sizes, with most measuring 121 x 92 mm. 50 black and white photos, all but 1 photo are mounted onto thick paper mounts, all mounts bound in a string-bound wrappered album (138 x 185 mm). Album is bound in green paper, stamped in brown on front (some wear, soiling to album, marginal sunning and wear to mounts, occasional wear to photos). Many photos have contemporary penciled captions on mounts. This album is a fascinating first-hand account of life at war, featuring soldiers, ruined buildings, Zeppelins, and even a “selfie” of the photographer himself (captioned “Von dem Spiegel Sellotbild [?] (Bärger-meisterhaus in Fournes Juni 1915)”).
