British Prisoners of War in Cowboy Costumes, Cottbus Camp

Two figures stand on a studio floor before a painted backdrop of trees, in a sepia photographic postcard. The woman-styled figure at left wears a wide-brimmed hat, fringed dark blouse and long skirt, and holds a rifle-like stick, while the man at right wears a dark hat, fringed vest and trousers, with a broom leaning beside him. The German caption reads 'Engl. Gefangene als Cow-Boys.'
