| Item Description: | "In 1999 a collection of small wooden boxes was discovered in a flea market in Tangier. Inside these boxes were 500 glass stereoscopic negatives and handwritten notes from a French officer, who took over 250 photographs between 1916 and 1918. This book highlights previously unseen images taken across the Western Front capturing all aspects of war; from the banal and odd moments to the cruel and brutal ones. It is a vision of one officer’s war, analytic and distant, yet with an exceptional aesthetic sense."-Front book flap. "First edition, June 2014, by Casa de la Imagen, Longroño, Spain"--Page facing title page. Front and back cover fold to form flaps. |
