PHOTOS OF HALYCH IN THE WIEN NATIONAL LIBRARY’S COLLECTIONS

Abstract

The article is devoted to the photo fixation of Halych during the Great (First World) War, which was carried out by members of the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Army Press Service (Kriegspressequartier, KPQ). The photos contain unique images of the city and the surrounding neighborhoods, most likely performed in July 1915 after the liberation of the land from Russian troops.
