Description: 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 3x3” 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 shows a group of women dressed in 1910s attire, standing on a metal structure resembling part of a military tank. They are wearing wide-brimmed hats and coats, suggesting a leisurely outing or event, set against a backdrop that appears industrial or related to wartime machinery. The image captures the style and essence of the post-World War I era. During 1919, the aftermath of World War I saw significant changes in society, including women's increased participation in various public spheres. This year marked the beginning of women gaining more independence and visibility, both in public events like this and within the workforce, partly due to their contributions during the war. No text or signs are visible in the image, and there are no identified names or famous figures present in this photo.
