Description
Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Classified in archives, collected in personal albums and circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. This book argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians' war experiences
