EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the harrowing experience of an Italian sailor who was held captive in irons by two German soldiers aboard a merchant ship for an agonizing two and a half months. The color lithograph, created by the French School in the 20th century, showcases the intense cruelty and suffering endured by this brave seaman. The image portrays the sailor confined to a small cabin, his hands bound tightly with iron shackles. With food supplies visible nearby, it becomes evident that he is at gunpoint, forced to endure this torturous ordeal under constant threat from his captors. The despair on his face reflects the immense hardship he has endured during his captivity. This powerful illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on May 5th, 1907, underlining its historical significance as it sheds light on a specific event during that time period. It serves as a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during war and highlights the resilience of individuals caught up in such conflicts. The artist's attention to detail brings forth emotions of empathy and sympathy for this Italian sailor's plight. This photograph print serves as both a testament to human endurance and a stark reminder of our shared history.
