A photographic treasure with many early colour slides.On 18 November 1909, Georg Kraut was transferred to German East Africa, where he fought alongside Commander-in-Chief Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck in World War I. For Georg Kraut, photography (many earlier colour photographs!) and hunting played an important role during his time in the colony. After his return from Africa and his resignation as lieutenant colonel in 1920, he committed himself to his artistic interest and cultural activities primarily in his home town Hildesheim. He gave lectures on his time in Africa during which he presented the slides offered at this auction. His slides also served partly as reference material for war publications, for example, by his friend Lettow-Vorbeck. Cf. auction 98, lots 3382 – 3384.No shipping, pickup only.Condition: II
