German Prisoners-of-War, photographed in 1914.

Real color picture made on an unknown place, problably somewhere in Northern France. The surroundings don't look like a POW-camp.

On the left a French chasseur a cheval, cavalry soldier, wearing the famous red pants from the beginning of the war.

The atmosphere seems relaxed. What do the POW's carry under their arms? Laundry? Anyone with a good idea? Please let us know.

We have 250 color pictures from the Great War: many of these original autochromes like the one above and others artificially tinted.
