EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative shop window display from Messrs Bassett-Lowke, a renowned model-making firm located in High Holborn, London, offers a poignant reminder of the ongoing naval conflict during World War I. Dated to 1915, the diorama in the window showcases an intricately crafted scene of the North Sea, with models of British battleships such as the Iron Duke and Dreadnought gracefully bobbing on the surface. However, beneath the tranquil waters lies a different story. The depths of Davy Jones' Locker conceal the remains of German warships, including the Blucher, Emden, and Scharnhorst, which were put out of action by the relentless British Navy. The blockade policy, implemented by the Allied forces, aimed to isolate Germany from the world and strangle its economy, ultimately contributing to the eventual end of the war. This poignant display captures the essence of the conflict, highlighting the destructive power of war and the tenacious spirit of the British naval forces.
