EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "New means of war, Arab snitches surprised and attacked by dogs, also used to discover underground weapons" is a powerful depiction of the complexities of warfare in the early 20th century. Created by Achille Beltrame in 1912, this illustration for Courier Sunday offers a glimpse into the Italo-Turkish War and showcases the innovative tactics employed during that time. The image portrays a group of Arab spies being taken aback as they are unexpectedly confronted by a pack of fierce hunting dogs. These loyal canines were not only utilized for attacking enemies but also played a crucial role in discovering hidden weaponry buried beneath the desert sands. The scene captures both surprise and fear on the faces of these Arab informants as they find themselves at odds with these formidable four-legged adversaries. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of the arid landscape dotted with palm trees, symbolizing an exotic setting synonymous with North Africa. The soldiers depicted wear traditional attire reflective of their cultural heritage while engaging in this unconventional form of warfare. This artwork serves as a reminder that conflict often necessitates innovation and adaptation. By incorporating elements such as botany, natural history, and scientific methods into military strategies, nations sought to gain an advantage over their opponents during times when conventional approaches proved insufficient. Overall, this print provides viewers with an intriguing glimpse into historical events while highlighting how different cultures approached warfare through unique means.
