EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Wiles of War" we witness a remarkable scene from the First World War. Four brave Italian soldiers have successfully captured thirteen Austrian troops, employing cunning tactics to make it appear as though they are being pursued by an entire company. The image, a color lithograph created by Achille Beltrame, showcases the artist's exceptional talent in capturing the intensity and drama of war. Set against a backdrop of dense woodland, the Italians stand tall with their rifles at the ready while their defeated enemies raise their hands in surrender. The contrast between the two sides is striking – one exuding confidence and victory, while the other displays resignation and defeat. Beltrame's illustration was originally published in Courier Sunday on July 18-25th, 1915. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the ingenuity and brutality that characterized warfare during this tumultuous period in history. As we reflect upon this poignant image today, it reminds us not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought but also highlights how resourcefulness can triumph over adversity even in times of great conflict. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and determination amidst chaos - qualities that continue to inspire generations long after these events took place.
