Performers in beach costume at Cottbus prisoner of war camp theatre

A sepia photographic postcard shows a seated woman in a light, loose costume leaning against a dark rock-like prop, beside a standing man in a sleeveless top and short trunks. A painted seaside backdrop of cliffs and a town fills the background. A printed caption along the bottom reads Kriegsgefangenlager Cottbus, Engl. Theater.
