Its subject is a stream of Polish refugees, a scene from the upheaval that swept the region during the First World War. The Library of Congress files it among its images of German military activities in the war, though the caption card's details are unverified and the date is only a range, 1914 to 1918. Across those years, armies advanced and retreated over Polish lands held by Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary, and many civilians left their homes to escape the fighting. Scenes like this one show how the war's disruption reached far beyond the front lines.
