EDITORS COMMENTS
(German Submarines at Work; The Last Smoke of a Sinking Steamer), 1918, is a haunting photograph that captures the aftermath of a maritime disaster during World War I. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, is an enduring testament to the devastating impact of submarine warfare on the global conflict. The photograph depicts the final moments of a sinking steamship, its massive hull submerging beneath the waves as plumes of smoke rise from the water. In the background, the ominous silhouettes of German submarines can be seen, their periscopes piercing the surface of the sea. The image is a stark reminder of the deadly game of cat and mouse that played out on the high seas during the war, with merchant ships and naval vessels alike constantly at risk of torpedo attack. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of the conflict, with the lives of sailors and passengers lost in the sinking ship. It also underscores the importance of sea transport during the war, with the vast majority of goods and supplies moving between Europe and its colonies reliant on the safety of the shipping lanes. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict and the enduring impact of the First World War on the world. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its mystique and historical significance. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and images, and the role they play in helping us understand the past. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring impact of the First World War on the world.
