EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and chaotic scene of the French 1st Infantry Corps crossing the Yser Canal during World War I. The image, based on a painting by Francois Flameng, depicts the crucial moment at 4.45 am on July 31,1917. As smoke fills the air and explosions echo in the distance, brave French soldiers can be seen running across a duckboard bridge amidst heavy gunfire. The composition skillfully portrays the urgency and determination of these men as they navigate through this treacherous battlefield. Their faces show both fear and resolve as they push forward towards victory for their country. The halftone effect adds depth to this powerful depiction of war. Located in Flanders on the Western Front, this offensive was a pivotal moment in World War I history. The canal served as a significant barrier that had to be crossed under constant barrage from enemy forces. Francois Flameng's artwork not only captures an important historical event but also serves as a metaphor for bravery under fire. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers during this tumultuous period in human history. This remarkable print transports us back to that fateful day in July 1917 when ordinary men became heroes on a battlefield soaked with bloodshed and valor. It is an evocative reminder of our shared past and serves as a testament to humanity's resilience even amidst unimaginable adversity.
