About this work

Photography was used in the First World War as a means of propaganda. These shots were probably taken by a military photographer or a photographer in the service of a press agency on the German and Austrian-Hungarian side. To keep the home front informed, shows of photographs were already being held during the war. The large format of these photographs suggests that they were displayed in such an exhibition.
