1918 Apples Children February Girl Line Long Milk Russian Scene Selling Street Wait World War I
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a poignant Russian street scene in February 1918. In the midst of World War I, women and children patiently wait in a seemingly endless line, their eyes filled with hope and desperation as they yearn for a simple necessity: milk. The harsh winter weather is evident through the heavy coats and scarves wrapped tightly around them, while their worn-out expressions reveal the toll that war has taken on their lives. Amidst this somber atmosphere, a young girl stands out from the crowd as she tries to make ends meet by selling apples. With determination etched across her face, she navigates through the throng of people, offering her goods to those who pass by. Her entrepreneurial spirit shines brightly amidst adversity, reminding us of the resilience that exists even in times of great hardship. This snapshot freezes an important moment in history when basic necessities became scarce commodities due to wartime disruptions. It serves as a stark reminder of how ordinary citizens were affected by global conflicts beyond their control. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness not only the struggles faced by these women and children but also glimpses of strength and resourcefulness that emerged during such trying times.
