EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St. George and the Dragon: Zeppelin L15 in the Thames, April 1916" takes us back to a significant moment in history during World War I. The image showcases the aftermath of an intense air raid over London, as the downed German Zeppelin L15 lies stranded on the River Thames. The scene is shrouded in a misty dawn ambiance, adding an eerie atmosphere to this powerful depiction of war's devastating impact. The hulk-like airship rests precariously on the water's surface, its once formidable presence now reduced to wreckage. Surrounding it are various boats and tugboats that have rushed to assist with salvage efforts. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both human resilience and destruction caused by conflict. It symbolizes St. George's triumph over evil – here represented by the dragon-like Zeppelin – but also highlights the immense sacrifices made during wartime. The artist behind this illustration is Donald Maxwell, who skillfully captures every detail with his color litho technique. This particular print comes from "The Naval Front" written by Gordon S. Maxwell in 1920. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to that fateful day in April 1916 when London witnessed yet another chapter of bravery and devastation amidst one of humanity's darkest periods - World War I.
