Description

Souvenir concert program produced during the First World War. This program is for a concert organised by French-Belgian prisoners at Camp Steinhorst in Germany on 17 September 1916. Concerts were held on Sunday evenings and the programs were lithographed using ink produced by the prisoners themselves. The cover of this program features an illustration of an angel holding a harp whilst a cherub holds a sheet of music. These illustrations were completed by G Meulemans.
