Documentation album of a German soldier during WWI. Circa 1914-17. Circa 43 vintage gelatin silver prints and 1 postcard. Various sizes, most 13 x 18 cm and smaller. Most mounted in photo corners to album pages (some wear), each with caption in white ink in German on the mount, some loose. Bound in contemporary imitation leather album (slight wear, edges rubbed, binding loose), with painted Iron Cross in upper left corner.
This historically significant album opens with images documenting the deployment of “Feldflieger Abteilung 57” in Galicia, including views of locations, personnel, and aircraft. The second section is of particular interest, featuring rare photographs of “FFA 300,” the aviation unit deployed in support of the Ottoman Empire. Among the highlights is a photograph showing Turkish General Ahmed Djemal (Cemal Pasha) alongside General Kreß von Kressenstein during an “FFA 300” parade. – Some photos with silver mirroring in edges, some with edge wear, a few faded, otherwise in good condition.
