About This Item

Geneva/Geneve: 1916, 1916. First Edition. Hardcover in original cloth. Fine. 4to. Pp. 69. Lavishly illustrated with lush b&w photo reproductions. Bound in is a diploma for a driver/agent: Diplome Occupation Des Frontieres Suisse Schweizerische Grenzbesetzung 1914 1915 1916, which is signed and stamped in ink; evidently a certificate for use as border patrol service during WWI. Half cloth binding with paper-covered boards, which are stamped and feature a mounted color printed emblem. In sum, an elaborate memento of Swiss neutrality during WWI, emphasizing, rightfully so, Switzerland's celebrated independence. The photos, especially well executed, depict border crossings, sometimes bucolic, sometimes mountainous, and the various vehicles used by agents to navigate those difficult roads. A particularly pleasing copy.
