EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in history during World War I. The image depicts French sailors fearlessly boarding and capturing a Turkish sailing vessel in the Aegean Sea in 1915. The vessel was carrying troops, munitions, and equipment, making this capture of utmost importance for the French forces. The artist behind this color lithograph is Louis Charles Bombled (1862-1927), who skillfully captures the intensity and bravery of the French sailors as they engage in this daring mission. The illustration originally appeared in Le Petit Journal on December 5th, 1915, serving as powerful propaganda to boost morale and demonstrate France's military prowess. Intriguingly titled "Comme au temps de Jean Bart" which translates to "As in the time of Jean Bart" referring to a famous French naval commander from centuries prior, this artwork symbolizes France's rich maritime heritage and its continued strength on the seas. The scene takes place against the stunning backdrop of the Aegean Sea, with other boats visible nearby. This print not only highlights an important event but also provides insight into transportation methods used during that era. Overall, this historical photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during World War I while showcasing France's determination to secure victory at sea.
