| Item Description: | "The collection of press photographs came out of an attic in Helsinki. They appear to be primarily German photographs made available to newspapers in Scandinavia, possibly in the hope of skewing coverage of the First World War. I don't know who affixed the Swedish captions but presumably that was done by the Swedish language newspapers who ran the pictures in their papers."--Bookseller. Title devised by cataloger. |
