Painting the engine during the first world war, as it is valuable?
 

Hello!
 Help to learn something about the author of the picture. I only know that the picture of the First World War. Wrote it after the captivity of the Austrian , who lived with my grandparents in the village cut the Volgograd region. Perhaps he was at a family photo.
Finally , the main question , how much does it cost?

In the first picture you see nothing.


A steam locomotive ...
Has value only as a memory of your great-grandfather.
<! - ~ 5 ~ ->

Artistic value of this picture is not.

Such things can not be estimated.
How will ...

Interestingly, this is driven by train?

Large chunks of sugar?

Once again, one wonders: what nekotrye people can not turn off the flash?

Do not read this feature in the camera, whatever it was?


Again, the saving of electricity ...

The romantic story .... In the first world in Russia in the village of Volgograd Region (!?) In a shop selling canvas, brush and oil paints?
Or they were given the prisoners?

Colors may, in the hardware store and sold.
And what about "the Volgograd region" - there is not so rosy <! - ~ 1 ~ -> ...

It became interesting to look -it- farm, rather than the village , 210 inhabitants, but there is a school . Maybe there would be paint and were carried out , but the village was formed only in 1907 , hardly a school for 8 years, built ...
But to the regional center was 12 miles . And there 's rail station , where a locomotive in the picture , and colorful culture , 7,500 people were .

Judging by the photos , soon countryside to the form of the early 20th century. return. And before you know , again, the Austrians . Dialectic , however.

Where there Volgograd region ? In the 1st world , and until 1919 there was a Saratov province. And it has always been color , as there are a lot of artists born and raised . A Petrov-Vodkin was worth !
  It is possible , and the landlord was a painter and had a margin of the canvas and paints,
   or maybe Austrian relatives had sent the parcel .
And he was an Austrian captivity to close the circle of the Symbolists.
 That drew : " Our locomotive forward flies! In the commune stop! ..."
The prophetic picture ! And you say - how much will ...

In the discovered facts , the main issue is not this one.
If the house in the village belonged to the great-grandfather , the village and was probably it. Since the cut farm was established in 1907 as a result of redemption of land from the government.
Who is there for a few years They have built homes , as not the owner?

You can claim the restitution and return to the farm .
