MikeyH Posted 3 August , 2022 Share Posted 3 August , 2022 (edited) Anyone know the origin of this book illustration? It was loosely inserted in an unrelated secondhand WW1 Title. It is approx 8"x 5-1/4" and oddly shows no signs of ever having been 'tipped in' or attached to a page. As can be seen it is a panoramic view of 'The Battle of Neuve Chapelle'. Just curious....

MikeyH Posted 3 August , 2022 Author Share Posted 3 August , 2022 EDWARD1 Many thanks, obviously the example I have is much reduced in size, which makes it difficult to read the lettering. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
