*********************************************

A Pair of World War One French Hand-Painted Christmas Cards.

France, 1915.

A rather dramatic pair of hand- painted Christmas, 1915 cards, each
showing a war scene and mounted with a photographs of what appears to be a
French hospital unit. One card, titled "Noel 1915 - Le Eparges" shows a
desolate, snow- covered street, surmounted by pine cones. The second card,
titled "Noel 1915 - Malines", shows a burning cathedral, surmounted by ivy
leaves. Les Eparges was the site of a fierce battle in April, 1915.
Malines is a Dutch-speaking city in Flanders which was the scene of
fighting in August, 1914, and numerous accounts of German atrocities
against civilians were circulated.

2 cards. 5.75"x8", minor soil. [39882] $250

Sure, of this and more, in the new Bookin'!
