EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The barbarian Austrian preparations for the offensive of the Lower Soča, suffocating gas cylinders. . " by Achille Beltrame showcases the grim reality of trench warfare during World War One. The image depicts a scene from the war, highlighting the brutal tactics employed by the Austrians. In this vivid illustration, we see an encampment of Austrian soldiers preparing for an attack on the Lower Soča region. The piles of sandbags and weaponry surrounding them serve as a reminder of their aggressive intentions. Amongst these preparations are suffocating gas cylinders, indicating their willingness to use chemical weapons against enemy forces. Adding to their arsenal is a chilling detail - spiked clubs meant to finish off any surviving soldiers after gassing them. This barbaric tactic demonstrates the ruthless nature of warfare during this time period. Beltrame's artwork was originally published in Courier Sunday in July 1916, providing readers with a visual representation of the horrors faced by soldiers on both sides. Through his detailed and emotive style, he captures not only the physicality but also the psychological impact that such preparations had on those involved in battle. This powerful image serves as a stark reminder of the brutality endured by troops during World War One and highlights how far nations were willing to go in order to gain an advantage over their enemies.
