Original work: Etching on Paper
Original size:
After the Marines left the Champagne area on 10 October 1918, they joined the Meuse-Argonne offensive, an action that had begun in late September. During the night of 30 October and into the early hours of the next morning, Marines arrived at front-line positions south of Landres-et-St. George and would be engaged in battle until the Armistice was called on 11 November. Hornby’s intimate etching of the observer brings the viewer into the scene by allowing a glimpse of the terrain of the Meuse valley as seen from his camouflaged position.
