EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Squadron-Commander A. W. Bigsworth attacks with bombs a German submarine" we witness a moment of intense action and bravery during the Great War. The colour litho by Joseph Harold Swanwick showcases the heroic efforts of Squadron Commander Arthur Wellesley Bigsworth as he engages in a fierce naval battle off Ostend. The scene unfolds amidst billowing smoke, where the vast expanse of the sea serves as the backdrop for this remarkable act of valor. With his plane soaring above, Bigsworth fearlessly drops bombs onto the enemy submarine, causing it to fill with water and ultimately sink into its watery grave. This artwork not only captures an explosive moment but also pays homage to all those who fought gallantly during World War I. It symbolizes their unwavering determination and selflessness in defending their nations against formidable adversaries. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings forth every element that defines war at sea - from battleships dotting the horizon to fiery explosions illuminating the darkened sky. This biplane attack represents one small victory among countless others that occurred throughout this tumultuous period in history. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder, let us remember and honor those who sacrificed everything for our freedom. Their deeds of valor continue to inspire generations, reminding us of both humanity's capacity for destruction and its indomitable spirit in times of adversity.
