AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid homogeneous collection of 18 original WWI-era postcards, precisely datable to the years 1915-1916.
The lot constitutes an extraordinary encyclopedic patriotic collection dedicated to the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Italy and to its historical glories.
It is part of the famous and sought-after Series 215 published by Foto-Edizioni Brunner & C. Como (Stab. Eliografico Italiano).
Each postcard presents the typical and beautiful period graphic design with an illustrated/photographic frame in the upper part, the Italian flag in the lower half, and a splendid tricolor perimeter border.
The lot consists of 18 subjects, all different from one another, as follows:
Esercito al Fronte (9 pieces): Cavalleggeri in pattuglia, Artiglieria da campagna spiando il nemico, Artiglieria da Campagna, Spostamento d'un imponente cannone 305, Lancieri, Bersaglieri, 2 different subjects dedicated to the Alpini, and il Genio Militare (Ponte a barche).
Regia Marina (5 pieces): 3 different general subjects of the Regia Marina, Lancia d'imbarco and veduta dell'Arsenale.
Monumenti e Servizi (4 pieces): Ospedale Militare, Monumento a Pietro Micca, Monumento a Garibaldi e Monumento a Vittorio Emanuele.
All postcards are NEW, unsold and uncirculated. The corners are perfectly vivid and intact, the paper is fresh and clean, free from mold bloom, creases or hidden defects. (Only in some is there a slight yellowing as shown in the photos), a unique set for integrity and preservation, after more than a century.
All postcards are present in the group photographs with front and back and a front-view version for each postcard.
