Terrific WWI photograph of German soldiers at "Skat Club Hummel Montauban 1914-1915". The wooden frame is wonderfully hand painted with four different panels. The two sides have soldiers in full dress. The bottom panel is a fairly detailed village scene. The top has a banner that reads: 1914 Errinnerungan Montauban 1915...

Beautifully painted scrimshaw battle scene with soldiers on horseback. Executed on a thin piece of bone on a board backing hand decorated with ink and gold trim. The frame is Persian inlaid wood. There is a paper card on the back that indicates the date 5/17/88, which I believe is the date the painting was framed, not the date of the scrimshaw painting itself, which I believe to be older.
