In the foreground two gaunt soldiers in Russian Army caps huddle together. One stares accusingly out at the viewer, the other looks blank, hands clenched to his mouth. Behind them a tall barbed wire fence stretches across the poster. Beyond the fence three Nissen-style huts are visible. On the right a group of prisoner labourers marches alongside the fence and a smaller group of Russian soldiers waits in the snow. text: SUR LA TERRE ENNEMIE LES PRISONNIERS RUSSES MEURENT DE FAIM Steinlen 1917 25 UNIS FRANCE Imp.H.CHACHOIN Editions 'LA GUERRE' 110, Avenue Victor-Hugo, PARIS [On enemy soil Russian prisoners are dying of hunger.
