Le Pays de France: A Centennial Illustrated Chronicle of World War I

Le Pays de France: A Centennial Illustrated Chronicle of World War I Dimensions per piece: 36*30cm Pages: 16 Le Pays de France was founded on May 10, 1914, initially as an official French publication for introducing tourist destinations. However, it ceased publication in July 1914 with the outbreak of World War I. Two months after the war began, on November 12, 1914, it was relaunched and revamped, becoming an illustrated journal exclusively reporting on the French war effort across various fronts during World War I. Consequently, the publication ceased again at the end of the war, with its final issue dated December 26, 1918. Its limited operational period of just five years means that surviving copies are scarce. Given its connection to World War I and the passage of a century, it is a truly noteworthy piece for collection. The content primarily reports on the battles of World War I in France, featuring a mix of images and text, along with some century-old maps. Each piece spans multiple pages, perfect for framing and collecting as a historically significant item. # Item for sale does not include other props shown in photos.
