EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the tumultuous years of 1914-19 during World War I. Captured by Amedee Forestier, it showcases a pivotal moment in history when Italian soldiers strategically placed guns on the mountain slopes as part of their military preparation. The image transports us to an alpine pass enveloped in mist, where soldiers can be seen diligently setting up tents and establishing an encampment amidst towering pines. Their determination is palpable as they navigate through challenging terrain, driven by a sense of duty and bravery. The composition beautifully captures both the serenity and tension that characterized this period. The mist adds an air of mystery while emphasizing the isolation these troops faced high up in the mountains. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought valiantly for their countries during this global conflict. Forestier's lithograph not only documents a specific moment but also symbolizes the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by nations caught up in war. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and strategic thinking even under extreme circumstances. This remarkable piece from The Stapleton Collection offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter of World War I history – one that speaks volumes about courage, sacrifice, and unwavering determination.
