Samuel Woolf's Eyewitness Drawing
Samuel J. Woolf worked as a visual war correspondent at the front in Beaumont-Hamel, France. He made compelling eyewitness drawings in the contested villages of the province of Lorraine, a region sought for decades by both the Germans and the French. The Germans attacked the inexperienced American Expeditionary Forces during the Battle of Seicheprey, flattening surrounding villages -- including Rambucourt -- and inflicting large numbers of casualties. Woolf had studied at the Art Students League and National Academy of Design, before heading to the front. |
