EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Original And Bold Incursion On Basso Piave" by Achille Beltrame takes us back to the intense days of World War I. The image showcases a daring and audacious attack on the enemy line of vigilance along the Basso Piave river in Italy. In this scene, we witness brave soldiers, wearing nothing but their underwear, crossing the treacherous river either by boats or swimming. With bayonets fixed to their rifles and grenades in hand, they surprise their Austrian adversaries who are busy venting artillery fire at passing boats filled with seemingly innocent soldiers. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he captures the chaos and destruction that ensues during this unexpected assault. Corpses litter the banks of the river while bodies float downstream amidst a backdrop of smoke-filled skies. This illustration was originally created for Courier Sunday in September 1918, providing readers with a vivid depiction of one of many battles fought during World War I. Beltrame's skillful use of color lithography brings life to this historical moment, showcasing both courage and desperation on both sides. As we gaze upon this powerful image today, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during times of war. It also highlights humanity's ability to find strength even in dire circumstances – an enduring testament to resilience and bravery.
