EDITORS COMMENTS
Lookout: A Design for Zambrene Trench Coats during the First World War This evocative drawing, titled "Lookout," is a design for Zambrene trench coats produced during the First World War. The London-based Zambrene company was renowned for manufacturing high-quality officers' trench coats, essential garments for the British military during the wet and rough weather conditions of the war. The image, created by renowned British artist Frank Brangwyn, depicts a solitary figure standing on the deck of a ship, gazing intently into the distance through binoculars. The man's determined expression and focused gaze suggest the importance of his role as a lookout, scanning the sea for enemy vessels or other threats. The rough, textured background of the drawing, with its depiction of the churning waves and rain-soaked deck, underscores the harsh and unforgiving conditions of the wartime naval environment. Brangwyn's design for the Zambrene trench coat is not depicted in this drawing, but it is likely that the coat would have been a crucial part of the man's uniform, providing both insulation and protection from the elements. The trench coat's iconic design, with its long length, belted waist, and double-breasted front, would have made it an essential piece of equipment for any officer serving in the trenches or on the decks of naval vessels during the First World War. This powerful and evocative image, with its depiction of a dedicated lookout standing watch against the backdrop of the stormy sea, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the men and women who served during the Great War.
