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 3.5x2.5" 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. The photograph depicts a damaged German floating dock in Brugge, Belgium, post-World War I in 1919. The structure is partially submerged, and it reflects off the calm waters, set against a backdrop of trees and industrial buildings.Following World War I, many military and naval installations were left in ruins across Europe. German floating docks like the one in the photo often served as critical infrastructure for naval operations, contributing to Germany's wartime capabilities. After the war, such sites became symbols of wartime impact and recovery efforts.
