Author - Romanian artist (better known as a cartoonist) Ion Barbulesku Ion (or Jon) Bärbulescu (1887-1961). Actually, shows the First World War, but hardly a battle of the Marne: in the vicinity of the Marne are no mountains in the future. Cottage with whitewashed walls - not French. Moreover, it occurred in September 1914 and was hardly relevant in Romania is not very successful for her in 1917 when it was written in your picture. Romania entered the war in August 1916 on the side of the Entente, but fought poorly. By December, the Germans occupied Bucharest and the Romanian army retreated to Moldavia, where to stay only with the support of Russian troops. Here you are, most likely, and shows the Romanian Defense on a River (Prut? Seret?). Historically, very interesting thing.
