Lublin, a city in eastern Poland, is the setting for this scene of people waiting for food, a sight common across the region during and after the First World War. Wartime requisitions, occupation and poor harvests left many city residents dependent on soup kitchens and rationed supplies, and relief efforts, including American-supported programs after 1919, reached towns like this one. The record does not confirm the exact date, so the picture is best read as one document of that wider hardship. The Bain News Service, a New York press agency, made the negative for newspaper use.
