EDITORS COMMENTS
In Ruhleben Camp - August Bank Holiday Number 1915 (Edition No. 4)" is a historical print depicting an August Bank Holiday celebration at Ruhleben Camp in Berlin during World War I. Ruhleben Camp was a civilian internment camp established in Germany in 1914 to house British and other Allied civilians, mainly from neutral countries, who had been stranded in Germany when the war broke out. This print, published by T. A. Barton for the Education Committee of the Englischerlager (English Camp) Committee of the Zivilgefangene (Civil Prisoners) in Ruhleben, Berlin, captures the spirit of the August Bank Holiday celebration in 1915. The image shows a large crowd of men, dressed in various outfits, gathered around a bandstand where a brass band is playing. Some men are seated on benches, while others stand and dance or chat with each other. The atmosphere is lively and festive, a brief respite from the harsh realities of camp life. The print was sold for thrippence, a relatively affordable price, and was made in Germany. The Education Committee of the Englischerlager played an important role in providing educational and recreational opportunities for the internees, and the sale of prints like this one helped to fund their efforts. The print is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the daily life and morale of the internees at Ruhleben Camp during World War I. It is a reminder of the human stories that lie behind the larger historical narrative of the war and the complex web of international relations that shaped the world during that time. This print is part of the rich collection of historical documents and images available from Mary Evans Prints Online, offering researchers, historians, and anyone interested in history a unique and valuable resource for exploring the past.
