2 Orig WWI Photos Returning US Troops on Mauretania
These two original antique photographs show U.S. troops returning home after the end of WWI. The ship is the Mauretania, which was a British ocean liner on the Cunard line, but it was also used as troop transport by both British and American forces. One has a label on back that describes the scene, as troops are "cheering and singing." Each photo has a cardboard backing, and their image size is 5 1/4 x 7 1/2 inches. One has a small portion cut out, possibly by a soldier. The backing one one has some spotting in the border, and one has a bent corner. Overall both photos are crisp and clean and in excellent condition. They are numbered from a catalog, probably from a museum or library collection. It is great to see both the entire ship, and the excitement of the troops, as they scurry onto the decks, and into the lifeboat on their triumphant return home.
