EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Passage à gué de l'Isonzo par l'infanterie Italienne" (The Italian Infantry Crossing the Isonzo River), a captivating lithograph by the renowned Spanish artist J. Simont i Guillen, offers a hauntingly poignant glimpse into the harsh realities of the First World War. Created in 1916, this evocative image is taken from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," and showcases the Italian infantry making their perilous way across the Isonzo River during the Sixth Battle of the Isonzo. The black and white image depicts a group of determined soldiers, armed and armored, making their way through the water, with the current swirling around them. The Isonzo River, also known as the Soca River, serves as a formidable barrier, its turbulent waters a stark reminder of the challenges faced by the soldiers on the front lines. The men are shown in various stages of crossing, some wading through the water, while others help their comrades, forming a human chain to ensure no one is left behind. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged, uneven terrain of the battlefield, with the trench lines stretching out in the distance. The soldiers, their faces etched with the fatigue and determination of battle, are a testament to the unwavering courage and resilience of the armed forces during the First World War. This poignant image, with its raw and unfiltered portrayal of the realities of war, stands as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during the Battle of Gorizia and the larger Battle of the Isonzo. The image, with its timeless quality, continues to resonate with viewers, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history.
