Arret et Recul Autrichiens, Val d'Astico, 17 Juin 1916; Monte Cengio, sur le rebord du plateau d'Asiago
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, taken in the Val d'Astico region of Italy, specifically at Monte Cengio on June 17, 1916. The image is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV" from the French publication "L'Illustration," tome CXLVIII, featuring coverage of the war from July to December 1916. The photograph captures a moment during the Italian campaign of the war, with the focus on the retreating Austro-Hungarian forces. Soldiers can be seen in the foreground, taking a pause in their hasty withdrawal, their expressions etched with exhaustion and determination. In the background, the rugged terrain of Monte Cengio looms large, its steep cliffs and rocky outcroppings providing a stark contrast to the flat valley below. The Velodastico, a tributary that flows through the region, winds its way through the landscape, adding to the sense of movement and change. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, with the soldiers' uniforms and equipment bearing the marks of wear and use. The image also underscores the importance of geography in military strategy, as the terrain of Monte Cengio would have presented significant challenges for both sides during the conflict. Overall, this photograph is a powerful visual representation of the First World War, offering a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers on the front lines and the impact of the conflict on the natural world.
