La grande attaque du Carso (aout 1916); La progression italienne sur le Carso
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating black and white lithograph depicting a significant moment during the sixth battle of the Isonzo in the First World War. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," captures the Italian advance on the Austro-Hungarian Empire's lines during the August 1916 offensive on the Karst Plateau in the Carso region. The print shows the rugged terrain of the plateau, with its intricate network of trenches and fortifications, as Italian soldiers make their way forward under heavy fire from the Austro-Hungarian forces. The lines between the opposing armies are clearly defined, with the Italian advance represented by a distinct line of soldiers moving steadily forward, their determined expressions and fixed bayonets conveying their resolve to push through the enemy defenses. The battle of Gorizia and the Isonzo River marked a crucial turning point in the Italian campaign of the First World War, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Italian army, seeking to break through the Austro-Hungarian defenses and gain ground in the region, launched a series of offensives throughout the summer and fall of 1916. The sixth battle of the Isonzo, which began on August 18, 1916, was one of the largest and bloodiest engagements of the campaign, with both sides suffering tens of thousands of casualties. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal and unyielding nature of trench warfare during the First World War, with soldiers on both sides fighting for every inch of ground. The unknown artist's meticulous attention to detail and ability to convey the raw emotion and intensity of the battlefield make this print a powerful and evocative representation of the war experience.
