What it is
A popular print in the lubok tradition by an anonymous Russian artist, 1915, 57 by 80 cm, from the Sammlung Eybl, now at the Plakatmuseum Wien.
Why it matters
The European War: The Siege of Przemyśl. The largest Austro-Hungarian fortress surrendered in March 1915 after 133 days of siege, with a garrison of 110,000 men.
What to notice
The siege of the fortress told in the lubok manner, the Russian popular print, in a sheet wider than it is tall.
A fortress falls, and the print shop cheers.
