Record status
Individual type · partial
Period
1916
This is a postcard book made of cardboard and firm paper, consisting of 20 black and white postcards, all of which are photographs depicting the physical impact of the Battle of Yser.
The book has a cream coloured cover, which has red and gold lettering that states "Bataille De L'Yser" in large print, as well as depicting five countries flags in colour. The booklet appears to have been produced as a souvenir circa 1916, well before the end of the First World War. The postcards are each separated by white tissue paper. There is then a French description of each of the postcards located on the front at the top of each postcard, followed by an English translation.
