EDITORS COMMENTS
La flotte d'avant-garde: le poste de manœuvre d'un sous-marin britannique en plongee (The Advance Fleet: The Manoeuvre Post of a British Submarine Diving, 1916) is a compelling photograph taken by the renowned French photographer Frederic de Haenen. This image, published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916, captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as a British submarine commander observes the surface of the water through a periscope. The photograph offers a unique perspective into the clandestine world of naval warfare during this period. The submarine, a crucial component of the Royal Navy's advance fleet, is submerged beneath the waves, its sleek silhouette barely visible against the dark, churning water. The commander, focused intently on the scene above, is a solitary figure in the dimly lit interior of the submersible, his eyes scanning the surface for any signs of enemy ships. The image transports us back to a time of conflict and tension, when the balance of power on the high seas hung in the balance. The photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the sailors who manned these underwater vessels, risking their lives to gain an advantage in the maritime theatre of war. The periscope, a vital tool for reconnaissance and engagement, is a symbol of the technological innovation that characterized the naval warfare of the era. This photograph, a precious piece of history from the Collection de la Guerre IV, offers a fascinating glimpse into the wartime world of the submarine, a world of secrecy, danger, and strategic importance. It is a reminder of the pivotal role that the Royal Navy played in the outcome of the First World War and the enduring legacy of the submarine as a symbol of naval power and innovation.
