Original WWI-era photograph depicting a soldier of the Imperial Russian Army in uniform and military cap with cockade.

The reverse bears an extensive handwritten period inscription, including the date March 2, 1917 and a reference to Kishinev (Chișinău).

The inscription is particularly interesting as an example of personal correspondence from the final period of Imperial Russia, shortly before the collapse of the Russian Empire in 1917.

Approximate size: 56 × 82 mm (2.2 × 3.23 inches).

Original period photograph, not a modern reproduction.

An interesting documented WWI military portrait for collectors of Imperial Russian, Ukrainian and Eastern European military history.
