EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Another advance in Derna" captures the indomitable spirit of Alpine troops during the Italo-Turkish War. The image, a colour lithograph by Achille Beltrame, showcases the ruggedness and harshness of the terrain these soldiers were forced to navigate. In their quest to conquer Sidi-Abdallah, these brave men are depicted carrying cannons on their shoulders due to the roughness of the landscape. The illustration originally appeared in Courier Sunday on 20-27 October 1912 and offers a glimpse into this historic conflict between Italy and the Ottoman Empire. The determination and resilience exhibited by these alpine troops is evident as they pull artillery through rocky hillsides, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to victory. The composition beautifully conveys both the physical challenges faced by these soldiers and their unwavering resolve. The juxtaposition of man against nature highlights not only their strength but also emphasizes the difficult conditions they encountered during battle. Beltrame's attention to detail brings this momentous event to life, capturing every nuance from rifles at gunpoint to officers leading with authority. This powerful image serves as a testament to the courage displayed by Italian forces throughout this campaign. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded of those who fought valiantly for freedom and conquest in North Africa during that tumultuous time period.
