The size is approximately 40 x 30 centimeters.
The title on the frontcover is: “Collection Edouard E. Weil Strasbourg”.
On the first page is a handwritten dedication dated 1933: “Respectueux Souvenirs à Monsieur Vallot Directeur Général des Services d’Alsace et Lorraine – Strasbourg le 22 Novembre 1933 – Ed.Weil”.
Paul Valot was prefect and director general of the Alsace and Lorraine services at the Presidency of the Council from 1925 to 1941. More on him can be read here: https://www.alsace-histoire.org/netdba/valot-pierre-paul/
