EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Naval Battle of Jutland: Rear Admiral Sir Horace Hood who perished with the Invincible hoisting his flag), is a poignant photograph from the First World War era, created by an unknown artist in 1916. This powerful image is taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures the moment of tragedy during the Battle of Jutland, one of the largest naval battles in history, which took place on May 31, 1916, in the North Sea. Rear Admiral Sir Horace Lambert Alexander Hood, a British naval commander, is depicted in his full naval uniform, with a determined expression on his face, as he hoists the flag of his flagship, the HMS Invincible, before the battle. Tragically, both the admiral and the ship were lost during the engagement. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion of the time, with the admiral wearing a traditional naval uniform complete with a cap, headdress, and a thick, woolen overcoat, typical of the era's naval apparel. The image also conveys a sense of the grandeur and tradition of the Royal Navy, as well as the heroism and sacrifice of its commanders during the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of warfare, and the sacrifices made by individuals like Rear Admiral Sir Horace Hood during the First World War. It is a powerful and evocative image that continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of naval warfare and military history.
