EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous event in French naval history - the launching of the armoured cruiser Leon Gambetta. Named after the influential French statesman of the 19th century, this majestic warship symbolized France's growing naval power at the turn of the century. The image showcases a vibrant scene filled with color and life. A large crowd has gathered to witness this historic occasion, their eyes fixed on the massive hull of Leon Gambetta as it glides gracefully into the sea. The tricolour flag proudly flutters atop its mast, representing France's national pride and maritime strength. Amidst this spectacle, one cannot help but feel a sense of anticipation and excitement in the air. People from all walks of life have come together to witness this remarkable feat of engineering and craftsmanship. It is a testament to human ingenuity and technological progress. Little did anyone know that fate had other plans for Leon Gambetta. Tragically, she would meet her untimely demise in 1915 when torpedoed by an Austro-Hungarian submarine during World War I. However, through this poignant photograph published in Le Petit Journal on November 10th, 1901, we are reminded not only of her grandeur but also her lasting legacy. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder that even though ships may sail away into history or sink beneath treacher
