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.
This photograph depicts a serene tree-lined path leading to an entrance gate in Fontainebleau, France. The scene is framed by tall trees and the path appears deserted, evoking a sense of tranquility. The photo was taken in 1919, shortly after the end of World War I.
Fontainebleau is historically significant and known for its royal chateau, which has housed many monarchs. It was also a strategic location during the war, and sites like these were often captured by travelers documenting post-war Europe.
There is no visible text or identifiable individuals in the photo, so no specific additions can be made in terms of names or captions.
