European stamp issues and the first World War : fall of empires, rise of nations
Parker, David (Historian)2018
Books
David Parker takes a new approach to the dramatic story of the continental empires and nations who became embroiled in the Great War that eventually transformed Europe and created a new patchwork of countries seething with jealousies and discontent. He does so using the unique perspectives provided by the philatelic images through which each nation projected its vision of itself through the ruling dynasties, military triumphs, breathtaking scenery, cultural achievements and technical advances it chose to highlight.
