EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "German Submarines at Work: Two Phases of a Sailing Ship's Agony," is an evocative and haunting photograph from the first world war era. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures the aftermath of a sailing ship being torpedoed by a German submarine during the conflict. The photograph presents a stark contrast between the tranquil waters and the chaos unfolding in the scene. In the foreground, the masts and rigging of the damaged sailing ship jut out of the water, while in the background, the calm sea reflects the ominous clouds above. The ship's once proud sails are now tattered and torn, and the water around it is churning with the aftermath of the explosion. The title of the photograph alludes to the two phases of the sailing ship's agony: the initial moment of destruction caused by the torpedo, and the subsequent sinking of the vessel. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of the German submarine warfare during the first world war, which claimed the lives of countless sailors and disrupted the transportation of essential supplies. The photograph's origin is unknown, adding to its enigmatic quality. It is a haunting testament to the human cost of war and the fragility of life at sea during this tumultuous time in history. The print collector is fortunate to possess such a powerful and poignant image, which continues to resonate with viewers today.
