This lot comprises two large-format, heavily illustrated volumes documenting the First World War. The first item is a softbound volume titled The Photographic History of the Great European War In Gravure. The front cover displays the title above a stylized T-shaped printer's mark. The interior consists of numerous newsprint sections, with several identified as The New York Times Mid-Week Pictorial. A notable section includes a facsimile of President Woodrow Wilson's April 2, 1917 war speech translated into German for distribution among Kaiser Wilhelm's troops. The second item is a landscape-format quarto titled Collier's Photographic History of the European War. The copyright page states Copyright 1918 By P. F. Collier & Son. The volume is bound in pictorial cloth-backed boards. Both books are profusely illustrated with black and white photographs and gravures depicting global political leaders, military technology including tanks, zeppelins, and artillery, and scenes of active combat. Specific subjects documented include the British artillery at Gallipoli, French infantry in review, and Russian cavalry in the Carpathians.
