1918 USA WW1 New York Times rotogravure Picture Section August 11th

Photo section from the New York Times’ Sunday August 11 1918 newspaper. Full of WW1 photos

The Rotogravure Picture Section was a separate, photo‑heavy supplement printed using the rotogravure process — a deep‑etch copper‑plate technique that allowed high‑quality halftone images. These sections are prized because they visually document WWI in a way standard newspapers could not.

This issue is from late WWI, just three months before the Armistice.
