Arrival in France - A Symbol of Unity and Strength
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a historic moment during the First World War. The image showcases the majestic US transport Leviathan, formerly known as the German liner Vaterland, arriving in France with an impressive cargo of 12,000 American troops aboard. The scene is filled with anticipation as smoke billows from the ship's funnel, creating a dramatic backdrop against the calm sea. Tugs surround the vessel, guiding it towards its destination with precision and care. This powerful display of naval mobilization symbolizes the unity between allies during this tumultuous time. Camouflaged to blend into its surroundings, Leviathan stands as a testament to strategic warfare tactics employed during World War I. The ship's transformation from enemy vessel to vital transport for American forces represents a turning point in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving by English School artists from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice made by these soldiers who embarked on this perilous journey across oceans to fight for freedom. Let us honor their courage and resilience as they played their part in shaping world history amidst one of humanity's darkest chapters - The Great War.
