Very rare poster view of the First Battle of the Marne, one of the most important battles of the First World War, presented as a tryptic by the artist T. Sala.
The poster was probably made shortly after the Battle, though a conclusive data of publication cannot be found.
The view shows French and British officers observing forces from Saint-Gond, with hundreds of thousands of troops spread out before them and the sky filled with biplanes.
We have located one example in an institution in France and one example in the Princeton University Posters Collection, Archives Center, National Museum of American History.
This very rare view is one of the best from the First World War. Although the condition is regrettable it is not unexpected, as the two institutional copies located are not without their faults either.
