Portrait of a German Officer, February 1917

This is an original black-and-white photograph of a German officer, dated February 1917, as indicated by the handwritten inscription on the lower front corner. The officer is depicted in full military uniform, complete with decorations, standing in an outdoor setting, holding his visor cap. The photograph exudes a sense of formality and dignity, capturing the essence of German military traditions during the First World War.

The handwritten notation, "in Febr 1917," is accompanied by a signature, though it is difficult to discern the name clearly. The reverse side is blank, adding to the pristine quality of this collectible piece. Its smaller size of 3.5 x 5 inches makes it ideal for framing or adding to a curated collection of World War I memorabilia.

 Photographs like this serve as a poignant reminder of the individuals who served during the Great War. The officer's uniform, including visible decorations, highlights the formal traditions and hierarchical structure of the Imperial German military.

Excellent, with minimal wear for its age. The clarity of the image and the neatness of the inscription further enhance its collectible value.

This photograph is a wonderful addition for collectors of military history, genealogists researching German lineage, or educators seeking authentic artifacts to illustrate the era.
