A Century-Old French Le Pays de France World War I Illustrated Newspaper - Commemorative Issue - Setting Off With the World Cup nearing its thrilling finals, it brings to mind a framed war report I've cherished for a long time. The image depicts French soldiers preparing for deployment, though their opponents weren't England, but rather Germany, Italy, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Le Pays de France was founded on May 10, 1914. Initially, it served as an official French publication promoting tourism. However, following the outbreak of World War I, it ceased publication in July 1914. Two months after the war began, on November 12, 1914, it was relaunched as an illustrated newspaper dedicated to reporting on French war efforts across various fronts during World War I. This particular piece is a highly valuable commemorative issue, featuring an illustration of French troops on the march, ready for deployment. The content primarily reports on the WWI situation in France, featuring a mix of images and text, along with some century-old maps. Each issue comprises multiple pages and has been newly framed, ready for display or collection. Dimensions: 36*30cm (excluding frame) Pages: 16 This century-old artifact has been newly framed.
