The auction will start in __ days and __ hours

Start price: £15

Buyer's Premium:

A landscape-format cloth-bound photograph album containing a collection of original silver gelatin and sepia-toned snapshots documenting the Western Front during the First World War and an immediate post-war period pilgrimage.


Condition report:

The brown cloth cover exhibits moderate shelf wear, rubbing to the edges, and minor staining. The internal grey paper pages show typical age-toning at the margins. The photographs are generally well-preserved, though some instances of silvering or fading are present. A small number of empty mounting corners suggest that some original photographs are missing from the collection.
