EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the sinking of the motorboat Camille during a race from Algiers to Toulon. Created by French School in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases the perilous rescue mission undertaken by sailors from the French armoured cruiser Kleber. In this chaotic scene, amidst stormy seas and rough waters, the crew of Camille can be seen desperately clinging onto their sinking vessel. The brave sailors from Kleber rush to their aid, demonstrating immense courage and determination. One particularly noteworthy rescue is that of Madame du Gast, whose life is saved thanks to the valiant efforts of these mariners. Published as an illustration for Le Petit Journal on May 28th, 1905, this artwork provides a vivid depiction of a harrowing event that unfolded in the Mediterranean Sea. It serves as a testament to both human resilience and solidarity in times of crisis. The image not only portrays an intense moment at sea but also reflects elements intrinsic to French culture – bravery, camaraderie among sailors, and France's historical connection with its overseas territories. This powerful visual narrative transports viewers back in time while reminding us of humanity's ability to overcome adversity through collective action. With its vibrant colours and attention to detail, this print offers a glimpse into history while celebrating acts of heroism that should never be forgotten.
