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. A street scene in Brussels in 1919 captures the post-war environment with several people walking and horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles on the road. Flags adorn the buildings, possibly reflecting the mood following World War I. The architecture exhibits typical European styles of the period with detailed facades and several shops visible on the street.In 1919, Brussels was in a period of transition; the city and its people were adjusting to peace after the end of World War I. This marked the beginning of post-war reconstruction and re-establishment of normalcy. Such images often reflect the resilience and vibrancy of urban life renewing itself after the harshness of war.Visible text includes a sign on the left building reading "Boulangerie," indicating a bakery. There are no known identifiable people or famous figures mentioned in the photograph.
