EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the sinking of the Merchant Ship Stamboul in Istanbul Harbour on May 25th, 1915. The image showcases the power and effectiveness of HMS E11, an E-class submarine from the Royal Navy during World War I's Dardanelles Campaign. Amidst a sea battle, this photograph depicts the intense naval warfare that took place during this period. The bomb exploding near the ship creates a dramatic scene, emphasizing the destructive nature of war. As one of the most successful submarines of its time, HMS E11 played a crucial role in sinking over 80 vessels within three tours of the Sea of Marmara. The composition highlights both geographical features and historical events simultaneously. Istanbul's iconic harbour serves as a backdrop to this wartime event, showcasing Turkey's strategic location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia. This monochrome print evokes nostalgia for an era when water transport was essential for global trade and military operations. It reminds us of how naval forces shaped world events during World War I. Preserved by AccuSoft Inc. , this artwork from Le Pays de France newspaper provides us with a glimpse into early 20th-century art media while commemorating an important chapter in naval history.
