France et Russie - A la gare frontiere de Haparanda, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph capturing a significant moment during the First World War. The image, created by an unknown artist, was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in the volume dedicated to the war events from January to June 1916. The photograph depicts a horse-drawn sledge transporting passengers across the border between Sweden and Finland at the Haparanda railway station. The scene is set against a wintry backdrop, with a wooden bridge stretching over the frozen water in the background. The passengers, bundled up against the cold, appear determined and resilient as they make their way across the border. The horse-drawn vehicle, a common mode of transportation during the early 20th century, adds to the historical context of the photograph. The image also features several background figures, including what appears to be a group of politicians, possibly French and Russian, dressed in formal attire, adding a political dimension to the scene. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the challenges and hardships faced by people during the First World War, particularly in the harsh winter conditions of northern Europe. The image also highlights the importance of transportation and border crossings during wartime, as people and supplies were moved across territories to support military efforts. This photograph, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV" in "L'Illustration," is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the experiences of people during the First World War and the complexities of international politics during that time. The image is a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve history.
