Georges Folmer (1895-1977) - Holzminden – Camp de prisonniers, 1915

Georges FOLMER (1895-1977) – 'Holzminden', 1915

Original drawing on paper, probably executed in charcoal with color highlights, signed, titled 'Holzminden' and dated 1915 at the bottom left.

Dimensions: 53.5 × 36.5 cm.

This antique work depicts a scene from the Holzminden internment camp in Germany during World War I. It was created in 1915 by Georges Folmer, a French artist from Nancy, who was a civilian detainee in that camp between 1914 and 1917.

The composition shows the camp barracks, a figure in the foreground, and various elements of daily life, constituting a graphic testimony of this historical period.

This work has a dual interest, artistic and documentary, particularly for collectors of old drawings, works by Georges Folmer, and testimonies of World War I.
