EDITORS COMMENTS
is a historic black and white lithograph depicting the battlefield during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The creator of this piece remains unknown, but it was published in "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." This map-like print provides an intriguing glimpse into the battlefield positions during the critical period of the Battle of the Somme, which took place between July 20 and 26, 1916. The image shows the terrain north and south of the Somme River, with the advancing French and British lines indicated in grey as of July 26, 1916. The print focuses on the areas of Hardecourt near Albert and Ovillers in Picardy, France, which were significant locations during the Somme Offensive. The image illustrates the complex trench systems and battlefield positions of both the German and Allied forces. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of World War I, with over one million casualties. The print offers a unique perspective on the strategic positions and movements of the troops during this pivotal moment in history. The use of black and white adds to the historical authenticity of the image, transporting us back to the 1910s and the harsh realities of trench warfare on the Western Front. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this devastating conflict. Despite the unknown creator, this print is an essential historical document, offering valuable insights into the Battle of the Somme and the larger context of World War I.
