# Illustrierte Kronen Zeitung, 10 June 1915: "Schwere Verluste der Italiener am Isonzo. Stanislau wieder in unserem Besitz"

Front page of a Vienna mass-circulation daily, 18 days after Italy declared war. A two-line banner reports heavy Italian losses on the Isonzo and the recapture of Stanislau, and a full-page drawing shows an Austro-Hungarian seaplane (L 48) destroying an Italian airship over the Adriatic. The page offers only enemy losses and Austro-Hungarian gains, with no figures of its own.
