EDITORS COMMENTS
Desert Alert (Colour Litho) captures the intense battle in North Africa during World War II. In this gripping illustration by Achille Beltrame, we witness one of the countless British attempts to break through the iron circle surrounding Tobruk. As a fierce desert wind rages, enemy tanks and airplanes relentlessly advance towards our positions. However, our forces are not caught off guard. The move is swiftly warned, and our batteries open fire on the opponent with full force. The resolute bombardment forces the enemy to retreat once again, trapped within their own failed offensive. Beltrame's artwork vividly portrays the harsh conditions faced by soldiers on both sides of this conflict. Sandstorms whip across the battlefield as brave men fight amidst bags of sand used for protection against shelling. This print serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of both Allied and Axis forces in North Africa. It encapsulates a crucial moment where Britain holds its ground against Italian aggression while weathering relentless attacks from German aircraft. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical event to life, showcasing his mastery as an illustrator. 'Desert Alert' stands as a powerful reminder of those who fought bravely in one of history's most challenging theaters of war.
