EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense fighting that took place during the great French offensive west of the Argonne from 25-30 September 1915. The artwork, a colour lithograph by Hans W. Schmidt, depicts a pivotal moment in history when the French 10th Cavalry Regiment and African chasseurs found themselves under heavy German shellfire. In this chaotic scene, we witness the brave cavalrymen and their horses retreating amidst explosions and smoke-filled skies. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the raw emotions felt on this battlefield - fear, determination, and resilience. The illustration is taken from Illustrierte Geschichte des Weltkrieges 1914/15 (Illustrated History of World War I), providing us with a glimpse into one of many battles fought during this devastating conflict. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from all corners of Europe who fought for their countries' honor. The clash between these opposing forces symbolizes not only physical confrontation but also represents larger themes such as colonialism and national pride. This image offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the horrors of war while honoring those who served. As we observe this historical snapshot frozen in time, let us remember that it is through understanding our past that we can strive for peace in our present and future.
