EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures the harsh reality of war in Northern France during August 1917. In this haunting image, a group of war horses can be seen sinking deep into the treacherous mud, their strength and vitality slowly being swallowed by the unforgiving terrain. The scene is a testament to the immense challenges faced by both man and beast on the battlefields of World War I. The soldiers, depicted as mere silhouettes in the distance, struggle alongside their loyal companions to navigate through this muddy quagmire. Each step becomes an arduous task as they fight against nature's grip. The artist skillfully conveys a sense of desperation and helplessness through his depiction of these majestic creatures succumbing to their surroundings. Their eyes reflect fear and exhaustion, mirroring the emotions felt by those who fought alongside them. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime, not only by human soldiers but also by these noble animals who played an integral role in military operations. It invites us to contemplate the profound impact that war had on all living beings caught up in its destructive path. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of our duty to remember and honor those who endured such unimaginable hardships for our freedom.
