EDITORS COMMENTS
A haunting depiction of the horrors faced during World War I, this lithograph captures a chilling scene in Lourdes, 1915. In the midst of a dense forest, soldiers find themselves engulfed by a suffocating blanket of asphyxiating gases. The toxic smoke hangs heavily in the air, creating an eerie atmosphere that is both mesmerizing and terrifying. Amidst the chaos, we see soldiers huddled together in trenches, their faces etched with suffering and despair. Armed with bayonets and rifles, they stand ready to defend against an unseen enemy. Their eyes scan the battlefield for any signs of attack while others watch on from afar. The artist skillfully portrays the devastating impact of poisonous gas warfare through meticulous details. The twisted trees bear witness to this brutal assault as they stand tall but lifeless amidst the foggy haze. Artillery guns loom ominously in the background, reminding us of the constant threat these soldiers face. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the immense sacrifices made by troops during wartime. It highlights not only their physical endurance but also their unwavering spirit in facing unimaginable challenges on behalf of their country. As we observe this engraving from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us remember those who fought bravely on battlefields like Lourdes and honor their memory.
