EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a daring aerial bombing during World War I. The image showcases one of our airships launching an impressive fleet of 40 grenade-torpedo boats on Rivas military works. The scene is depicted in vivid color lithography by the talented artist Achille Beltrame. The chaotic and intense atmosphere is evident as the city below is engulfed in smoke and flames, signifying the devastation caused by this strategic bombardment. Balloons float ominously in the dark sky while headquarters and buildings are set ablaze, creating a dramatic contrast between light and darkness. The Italian aviator fearlessly drops bombs from his dirigible, causing explosions that illuminate the night sky. This raid demonstrates the tactical prowess and firepower of our armed forces as they engage in combat against their enemies. As soldiers fight bravely on land, water, and air, this image encapsulates the four elements coming together in a fierce battle scene. It symbolizes not only the destructive power of warfare but also highlights how technology played a significant role during this tumultuous period. Beltrame's illustration was originally featured in Courier Sunday back in April 1916, providing readers with a visual representation of these daring aerial bombings. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for their countries during World War I.
