EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a crucial device employed by the advancing Italian troops during World War I. Known as "Mat screens for exposed road" this strategic contraption played a vital role in the military tactics used by the Italians as they made their way towards Gorizia. The image showcases a column of soldiers, hidden behind these ingenious mats that effectively disguised their movements on open roads. The lithograph, created by an anonymous English artist from the 20th century, beautifully depicts the soldiers' camouflage technique. In an era where warfare was evolving rapidly, this photograph serves as a testament to the innovative strategies employed during one of history's most devastating conflicts. The use of mat screens allowed troops to remain hidden from enemy sight while moving forward with precision and stealth. The stark contrast between light and shadow in this print adds depth and intensity to the scene, emphasizing both the danger faced by these brave soldiers and their determination to achieve victory. It is a powerful reminder of how military strategy can shape outcomes on the battlefield. Preserved within a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter of our shared history. As we reflect upon World War I and its profound impact on global events, let us not forget those who fought valiantly using innovative methods such as these mat screens for exposed roads.
