Summary
| DescriptionFridtjof Nansen, Les deux étapes de la faim (1922).jpg |
English: A postcard photograph ( rotogravure) of two starving boys: one feeds the other. The boys are in the fatal stages of hunger. They have skeletal limbs and their bellies are swollen (through eating grass, straw, tree bark, worms, and earth). This is postcard number 3 of a set published by Rotogravure SA, Geneva, and sold by in 1922 to raise funds for the Russian famine (number VIII of the set displayed bears the date 28 February 1922). The photographs were taken by Fridtjof Nansen and most likely published earlier as well in 1922 in his pamphlets and addresses for aid to the Russians.
