EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "That Periscope Sensation," is a classic work by renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. Originally published in the prestigious British magazine, The Bystander, during World War I in 1917, this cartoon is a humorous depiction of the heightened tension and anxiety experienced by sailors on board a Royal Navy ship during the war. The scene unfolds on the deck of a navy ship, where two sailors are intently gazing at the horizon, their binoculars trained on a floating bottle that appears to be sticking out of the water. One sailor, with a worried expression, turns to his companion and asks, "I wonder if oughtn't to tell the captain about that thing sticking up in the sea over there?" The other sailor, seemingly nonchalant, replies, "Oh, that? That's just old Bill's bottle. He's been losing them one by one." This charming and lighthearted cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the daily life and camaraderie among sailors during the First World War. The use of humor to alleviate the stress and fear of the unknown, such as the threat of submarine attacks, is a testament to the resilience and morale of the British Navy during this time. The intricate details in the illustration, from the sailors' uniforms to the ship's rigging, showcase Bairnsfather's exceptional artistic talent and his ability to capture the essence of the era. This historical cartoon is a must-have for anyone interested in World War I, naval history, or the works of Captain Bruce Bairnsfather.
