Chasing Gun-Running Dhows - A Glimpse into the Maritime Battles of the 20th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print titled "Chasing Gun-Running Dhows" takes us back to a tumultuous era in history. Created by an English School artist in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a scene from Chatterbox, a publication dating back to 1918. The image showcases the intense pursuit of gun-running dhows off the coast of Africa. In this central African setting, armed men aboard a tugboat are engaged in a high-stakes chase against these illicit vessels transporting weapons. The vibrant colours bring life to this dramatic moment as they clash with the deep blue sea. As we delve deeper into the details, we witness sailors and seamen displaying their bravery amidst turbulent waters. Their masculine figures stand tall, determined to defend against any threat that may arise during their mission. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of one aspect of warfare during World War I (WWI). It sheds light on how nations fought not only on land but also at sea, striving to control weapon transportation routes and maintain dominance over strategic regions like North Africa and the Red Sea. Through this powerful depiction of war zones and sailboats intertwined with weaponry, Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into history's pages and appreciate both the artistic skill employed by English School artists and their ability to capture significant moments from our past.
