Austro-Hungarian Prisoners of War
In the early years of the First World War, Prokudin-Gorskii photographed a group of prisoners of war from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The men are probably Poles, Ukrainians, and members of other Slavic nationalities, imprisoned at an unidentified location in the far north of European Russia near the White Sea. This image escaped being confiscated by border guards--the fate of the vast majority of politically sensitive images--when Prokudin-Gorskii left Russia for good in 1918--probably because what is being represented is not immediately obvious.
