Cropped from Agence Meurisse photo with caption:
"Entre Villeroy et Neufmoutiers : on fait travailler les prisonniers allemands"
pub. date 1914.

Neufmoutiers is probably a Gallica site typo, as there is a Neufmoutiers, but it is not close to Villeroy and Neufmontiers is.
Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks so much artolog for pointing us to this Gallica site for the great description and date. We'll make the correction to the caption as noted by Wystan and add more information to the record the next time we update.

Nice one. Added to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Queenslander Thanks for posting these!
State Library of Queensland said:
Peter D. Tillman You're welcome! THe Queenslander coloured covers are one of our favourite digitised collections. There's only a small sample here of the total nearly 1000 in the collection. Should we add more?
