EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the tragic events of World War I. The image showcases a group of passengers aboard the majestic Cunard steamship Lusitania, which was first put into service in 1907. Little did they know that their journey would soon be interrupted by an unthinkable act. The year is 1915, and tensions are high on the open seas. As this diverse group of men and women pose for the camera, unaware of what lies ahead, one can't help but notice their stylish attire - fur coats, elegant hats - reflecting the fashion trends of early 20th century England. However, just weeks after this photograph was taken, disaster struck. On May 7th, as the Lusitania sailed near the Irish coast, it fell victim to a German submarine's torpedo attack. This shocking event shook not only those onboard but also reverberated throughout history as one of World War I's most infamous maritime tragedies. In this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we witness a moment filled with hope and anticipation before tragedy strikes. It serves as a reminder that even amidst beauty and luxury at sea during times of war; no one is truly safe from its devastating consequences.
