Description: An original photograph from a European traveler who visited many parts of war torn Europe in 1918-1919 just as the first world war was ending. Photographer and traveller name appears to be Sgt. Sessel.Type & Size: A 2.5x4" original photograph.Condition: Original from the end of the war and in fair antique condition. These originated from a scrapbook that was falling apart, and most photos have age wear, remnants of having been formerly mounted (residue on front or back), dirt, scratches, etc. Please see photos, which show a scan of both surfaces. This photograph captures a scene of the coastal area near Zeebrugge, Belgium, taken in July 1919. Visible are several sailboats on the water, and a long wooden pier stretches into the sea. The foreground features sand dunes and sparse vegetation, framed by a fence that follows the contour of the shoreline.Zeebrugge played a significant role during World War I, particularly during the famous Zeebrugge Raid in 1918, an attempt by the British to block the heavily fortified German-occupied port. By 1919, the region was recovering from the war's impact, transitioning back to civilian life, which is reflected in this serene image.Present in the image are no identifiable individuals or text detailing specific events; it is purely a landscape capturing a moment in time shortly after the war.
