EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of sacrifice and solidarity during wartime as Sir George Alexander and the renowned actress Marie Lohr diligently work at a doll auction held at the prestigious Claridges Hotel in London in 1915. The Russian Red Cross event was organized to raise funds for wounded soldiers on the Eastern Front during World War I. The dolls on display, each representing distinct Russian types, were meticulously crafted and eagerly bid upon by attendees. The proceeds from this unique auction were instrumental in providing essential aid and support to the Russian military, bridging the gap between the home front and the battlefield. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the power of community and compassion during times of conflict, as individuals came together to make a difference in the lives of those affected by the Great War.
