A Pair of World War One French Hand-Painted & Real Photo 1915 Christmas 
Cards.

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 scene, 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]  $175
