EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a relief map of Gorizia and the Carso Plateau, taken in 1917 during World War I. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown. General Cadorna led the Italian forces in their fight against Austria-Hungary, specifically on the volcanic Carso plateau that had been heavily fortified by the enemy with extensive barbed wire barriers. Despite these challenging odds, the Italians emerged victorious in several battles fought here. This photograph is sourced from "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VII: The Autumn Campaign of 1916" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published by The Amalgamated Press Limited in London in 1917. The image captures an important geographical feature of Friuli Venezia Giulia region in Italy, highlighting Gorizia's strategic location near the Austro-Hungarian border. It offers a detailed diagram of the battlefield, showcasing mountainous terrain and providing insights into military tactics employed during this period. Marshal Luigi Cadorna played a crucial role as he led his troops through this treacherous landscape to secure victories for Italy despite facing formidable opposition. This historic relic serves as a testament to both the bravery and ingenuity displayed by soldiers on both sides during one of history's most significant conflicts.
