EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "How the Brave Belgians Held up the German Advance" takes us back to a significant moment in history during World War I. The image, captured by Cyrus Cuneo in 1916, showcases the courage and resilience of Belgian soldiers as they valiantly defend their town against the advancing German army. Amidst billowing smoke and chaos, we witness a gripping scene of battle. The brave Belgian troops stand tall behind a barricade, rifles aimed with unwavering determination. Their eyes reflect both fear and steely resolve as they face an imminent confrontation with their enemy. The aftermath of this fierce clash is evident; fallen soldiers lie motionless on the ground, testaments to the price paid for defending their homeland. Yet amidst this devastation, there is an undeniable sense of heroism that emanates from these courageous fighters. Cuneo's use of color lithography adds depth and intensity to this powerful illustration. Every detail - from the intricately designed guns to the wheels turning beneath them - highlights not only the technical aspects but also emphasizes the gravity of war itself. This poignant image serves as a reminder of those who fought gallantly during one of history's darkest periods. It pays homage to all those who sacrificed their lives in defense of freedom and stands as a testament to human resilience in times of conflict.
