La bataille de la Somme - La prise de Combles
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph print from the First World War era, specifically from the collection "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The image, of unknown origin, depicts the Battle of the Somme and the taking of Combles in 1916. The photograph captures the raw and intense nature of the military campaign, with the Western Front serving as the backdrop. The image is dominated by the rugged terrain of the battlefield, dotted with the trench lines of the British and French forces. The contrast between the barren landscape and the lush greenery in the distance creates a striking visual juxtaposition. At the center of the photograph, soldiers from both sides can be seen engaging in fierce combat, with the smoke from explosions rising in the background. The map in the lower right corner of the print adds a layer of context to the image, highlighting the strategic location of Combles and the surrounding areas. The print serves as a powerful reminder of the brutal realities of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Battle of the Somme. The use of black and white adds to the timeless and haunting quality of the image, making it a poignant and important historical artifact. Despite the unknown creator of the photograph, "La bataille de la Somme: La prise de Combles" remains a significant piece of visual history, offering a glimpse into the events of the First World War and the military campaign that took place in the Somme region of France. The print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history, cartography, or the history of the First World War.
