A fascinating piece of North African colonial history combining early 20th-century studio photography with an authentic French military field message from the Zaian War era in Morocco.

Back: Features the official "LL" logo stamp in the center. Contains a highly important handwritten French military message sent by a soldier stationed in Morocco.
