| The New York Public Library, 1919 |
As you might guess, since the New York Public Library has vast collections of stuff on just about every topic under the sun, that it has a great collection of First World War material. I've drawn on NYPL regularly for material for Roads to the Great War. So recently, I decided to go poking around in their archives for some fresh images that I've never seen before. Hope you enjoy what I've found. They can all be substantially enlarged by clicking on them. MH
