EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the First World War. The image showcases soldiers of the Austro-Hungarian Army at the command post of army commander General Eduard von Bohm-Ermolli, who can be seen behind the table wearing a darker cap. The photograph was taken in July 1917 in Czernowitz, which is now known as Chernivtsi and is located in Bukovina, currently divided between Romania and Ukraine. The soldiers are depicted in their austere uniforms, with one soldier pointing towards something outside the frame. Behind them stands a sturdy tripod trestle holding up what appears to be a water container or some other essential equipment for their operations. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the river bank that adds depth to this historical scene. It is worth noting that on August 3rd, 1917, just after this photograph was taken, Czernowitz was captured from Russian forces by these very soldiers. This victory marked an important milestone for Austria-Hungary during this tumultuous time. Overall, this print offers us a rare glimpse into the lives of brave soldiers serving under General Eduard von Bohm-Ermolli's command during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It serves as both a reminder and tribute to those who fought valiantly for their countries amidst challenging circumstances.
