Description

From the seller
The product is an original sepia real photograph (AZO - Eastman Kodak) postcard from World War I featuring a technique used by mariners to measure water depth, specifically "Heaving The Lead". This maritime method was essential during the war for navigation and ensuring the safety of ships. This collectible item captures an authentic moment from the conflict and holds historical significance in the theme of militaria. Unposted, undivided back, RPPC yellowing from age. Message with questions.
