EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Skilful landing by surprise of a large expedition force between Zuara and the Tunisian border for. . " depicts a momentous event during the Italo-Turkish War. The image, created in vibrant colour litho by Achille Beltrame, showcases the daring landing of an expeditionary force on the North African coast. In this historical illustration for Courier Sunday, dated 21-28 April 1912, we witness Italian soldiers disembarking from their ships onto the sandy beach. They are clad in distinctive uniforms and pith helmets, ready to prevent war smuggling along the Libyan coastline. The scene is filled with activity as boats transport supplies and sailors haul equipment ashore. This skilfully executed operation was carried out under cover of darkness to catch their enemies off guard. The convoy of ships can be seen anchored offshore while soldiers form lines on land, preparing to defend against any resistance they may encounter. Beltrame's artwork beautifully captures not only the military aspect but also highlights Africa's rich cultural heritage through its portrayal of Arab civilization and African locals observing this significant event unfold. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Italy's colonial ambitions in North Africa during this period. It reminds us of the bravery and resourcefulness displayed by these Italian soldiers as they ventured into unknown territories to secure their nation's interests.
