EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the intense and brutal German attack on French blockhouses and trenches in the Bois-le-Pretre during World War I. The aftermath of a devastating artillery bombardment on 5 July 1915 is depicted, revealing the sheer destruction and chaos that engulfed this battlefield. The artist, Hans W. Schmidt, skillfully portrays the horrors of war with striking detail. The image showcases a scene of charging soldiers, bayonets fixed to their rifles, as they bravely advance towards the enemy lines. Bodies lie scattered across the torn landscape, representing both French and German casualties. Trench warfare was a defining feature of World War I, and this print vividly illustrates its grim reality. The wounded can be seen being tended to by medical personnel amidst the chaos of battle. It serves as a haunting reminder of the immense sacrifices made by those who fought in this conflict. The historical significance of this moment is further emphasized by its inclusion in Illustrierte Geschichte des Weltkrieges 1914/15 (Illustrated History of World War I), highlighting its importance within wartime documentation. As we reflect upon this powerful image from our private collection, it serves as a poignant reminder not only of the brutality endured during World War I but also as an homage to all those who fought valiantly for their countries amidst unimaginable circumstances.
