Book Review – Collier’s Photographic History Of The European War

Photographs by the Official Photographers Accompanying Each Army

This is one of two such books that I bought at the DC Big Flea on 11/7/2009. This was a “buy on first sight” kinda thing….the reason being that my step-father had this book in our house when I was a child. I opened the book and immediately recognized some of the pictures.

Large and oversized and in very fine condition. I later say a number of other copies selling for a lot more than I paid and which were in terrible condition.

This site has some of the pictures scanned from it:

There must be a number of version of this as the above web site shows a copy-write date of 1916 and mine is 1918.

It was quite a kick to find this…..
