Vera fotografia d'epoca, originale e autentica.
L'immagine reca una originale nota dattiloscritta al verso (in lingua inglese).
In buone condizioni malgrado presenti un breve strappo al margine superiore destro (come da scansione). Di tale circostanza si è naturalmente tenuto conto nella determinazione del prezzo.
-------------------
Note: the armistice between the Allies and Germany was signed in a railway carriage in Compiègne Forest on 11 November 1918, and marked the end of fighting in the First World War on the Western Front. Principal signatories were Marshal Ferdinand Foch, the Allied Commander-in-chief, and Matthias Erzberger, Germany's representative. It was a military agreement that marked a complete defeat for Germany, but was neither an unconditional surrender nor a treaty.
