"La gente esangue e ischeletrita"... ("The people, anaemic and reduced to skeletons...")

..."Ritrovo` in breve dopo la vita il sorriso" (...soon rediscovered, along with life, a smile")

These two photographs come from the World War I photo album created by an amateur photographer whose identity is unknown. They appear at the very end of the album, the one on the right immediately following the one on the left. Could this be the author of the album, who found her smile again after the war's end? And another interesting question arises: is the woman on the right the same one in the left-hand image, malnourished and shockingly thin? Or were they perhaps relatives?
