seaJane Posted 5 January , 2022 Share Posted 5 January , 2022 (edited) On my last day of work before retirement I discovered this in a box... I think Pelagosa is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palagruža, so is the picture of the 1915 attack mentioned in Wikipedia? The caption reads I nostri valorosi marinai respingono la flotta Austriaca che tenta di riprender l'isola di Pelagosa. The details show the imprint and the artist's (?) name. PS: I'm doing this to satisfy my own curiosity, not for work!! Edited 5 January , 2022 by seaJane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWK Posted 6 January , 2022 Share Posted 6 January , 2022 Italian Wikipedia has the same poster: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelagosa#La_prima_guerra_mondiale_e_l'annessione_all'Italia with the caption : "Italian propaganda poster that emphasizes the defense of the island during the battle of 30 July " The poster itself is titled: "Our valiant sailors repel the Austrian fleet which attempts to retake the island of Pelagosa." Name of the printer: Stabilimento Tipo-Litografico Edoardo Ducci, Via dei Pilastri 32, Firenze https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Difesa-isola_pelagosa.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 6 January , 2022 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2022 Thank you JWK! Unfortunately there's absolutely no hint as to how the poster reached its present location, which is a pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
