Picture No 10837405
Date 1918
Description A Visit to the Alpini - 19**? by Bruce Bairnsfather, WW1
Details

The war was over some time ago, but this man hasn't heard about it yet, and nobody can get up to tell him. His sniping is therefore very annoying to that Austrian village in the valley. Cartoon by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather in The Bystander, one of a number drawn during his visit to the Italian Front in 1918. This particular illustration, showing a lone Alpini, unaware that the war is over, was considered by the American artist Charles Dana Gibson to be Bairnsfather's finest.
