Excerpt from The War Illustrated Album De Luxe, Vol. 1: The Story of the Great European War Told by Camera, Pen and Pencil; The First Phase
T is not too much to say that among the con temporary records of the Great vvar no publication has achieved the unique distinction of the war illustrated. Devoted, almost exclusively, to recording by means of the camera every aspect of the historic happenings in the course of the world-wide hostilities, it has presented to the reading public a collection of contemporary photographic evidence such as a few years ago could hardly have been conceived. Its pages have teemed with pictorial records, the interest of which will long endure, and no one in the years to come who seeks to refresh his memory - or, it may be, to acquaint himself for the first time with the outward form and evidence of these world-shaking events - will be able to turn to a more valuable store house oi documentary evidence than is found within the pages of the war illustrated.
