EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white pencil drawing captures the essence of French triumph on the Italian front during World War I. The scene unfolds in a conquered trench on Monte Tomba, a strategic mountain pass in Italy, in the winter of 1917. The solitary figure of a French soldier stands proudly at the entrance of the trench, gazing out at the snow-covered landscape before him. The accomplishment and achievement of this hard-won victory are palpable in the soldier's posture and expression. This poignant illustration was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, a renowned French publication, in 1924. The drawing masterfully conveys the harsh realities of trench warfare and the importance of seizing control of key geographical features, such as mountain passes, to gain an advantage in the conflict. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the French military during this pivotal moment in world history. The intricate pencil work and attention to detail in the illustration bring the wintry scene to life, transporting us back to a bygone era. The contrast between the stark, monochromatic landscape and the solitary figure of the soldier serves to highlight the isolation and intensity of the soldier's experience. This print is a must-have for any collection focused on World War I, military history, or the art of the 20th century.
