Maggs Bros.

A substantial collection press photographs, documenting Germany and German military actions during the war, which were probably taken by German photographers.

The images include, among others: Prince Friedrich Karl von Hessen and Princess Margaret of Prussia (identified here as the future king and queen of Finland, a title that Prince Friedrich had to renounce due to his German birth); Matthias Erzberger, identified in the caption as the new German Secretary of State; the swearing in of the new Rector of the University of Berlin; the spring fair in Leipzig, with a tank in the background; a few of workers in a German ammunition factory; a few of workers in a German gunpowder factory; many pictures of the German military offensive Operation Michael (1918), specifically photos in or near Saint-Quentin, France; many photographs of the Battle of Cambrai (1917); a few of captured soldiers; a picture of German Kaiser Wilhelm II surveying captured enemy weapons and supplies (near Cambrai); some photos of the German and Austria-Hungarian offensive against Italy in and near Vittorio; pictures relating to the First Battle of the Piave River (1917); German troops in Kiev; photographs of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk; wounded German soldiers harvesting potatoes; a German family (?) harvesting stinging nettles, 1918; and a captured English tank.
