EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Les progres de l'offensive Franco-Britannique sur la Somme; Trace approximatif sur le terrain du nouveau front apres la prise de Combles et de Thiepval," was created by French cartographer L. Trinquier in 1916. The print is part of the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" publication. During World War I, the Battle of the Somme raged from July 1 to November 18, 1916, on the Western Front between the Allied forces of Britain and France and the German army. Trinquier's map offers an approximate representation of the advances made by the Franco-British forces following the capture of Combles and Thiepval. The map is significant as it provides a visual record of the military campaign, illustrating the strategic locations and movements of the various forces involved in the battle. The mapmaking process was crucial during wartime, as accurate and up-to-date information was essential for military planning and decision-making. Trinquier's map is a testament to the historical significance of the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history, with over one million casualties. The print offers a unique perspective into the military strategies and tactics employed during the First World War and serves as an important historical document for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the conflict. The map's monochromatic design, typical of the era, adds to its historical authenticity and creates a striking visual representation of the battlefield. Overall, this photograph print is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the First World War, military history, or cartography.
