Schoenwurf Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi, This is not my field of collection so I would like to have your opinions about this photo album of a huge collection from the Napoleonic empire. It contains 7 large size photos and the collection is really impressive ! The album is luxurious and measures 30x40 cm There is a dedication dated from 1933 : "Respectueux Souvenirs à Monsieur Vallot Directeur Général des Services d'Alsace et Lorraine - Strasbourg le 22 Novembre 1933 - Ed.Weil" I've found out that Paul Valot (and not "Vallot" as written in the dédicace !) was Préfet and Directeur général des services d'Alsace et de Lorraine à la Présidence du Conseil from 1925 à 1941. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commissaire_général_de_la_République_chargé_de_réorganiser_les_trois_anciens_départements_d'Alsace-Lorraine Quote more photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedehansen Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hi, I would read the dediction as 1923. Kind regards Andreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the original resolution, I can see why you would think that, Andreas. However, when blown up, I think that it is 1933, which fits in with M. Valot's dates of service, of course.

Schoenwurf Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 The writing is a bit misleading but as Trooper said the dedication is dated from 1933 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
