Woodcut print with hand colouring through stencils by Eduardo Garcia Benito (1891-1981) featuring Russian soldiers walking in the snow. Przemysl was a fortified town on the Austro-Hungarian border with Russia (in present day Poland, 125 miles east of Kraków). The siege was the longest of the war, beginning on 24 September and ending on 22 March 1915 (with a brief cessation in October). It was a major defeat for Austria-Hungary. The text on the print expressed the view of many, that the fall of the garrison would give Russia access into Hungary. Print no. 53bis from the 2nd series La Grande Guerre. Published by Tolmer & Co.
