Airship Airships Information Nov16 Sheet Warning
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative public warning and information sheet from the First World War era features silhouettes of both German and British aircraft, serving as a reminder of the aerial combat that took place during the Great War from 1914 to 1918. The stark contrast between the black silhouettes of the planes and the bold red text adds to the sense of urgency and importance. On the left side of the sheet, a German Zeppelin airship is depicted, symbolizing the threat posed by the German military's use of airships for bombing raids against civilian targets in Britain. The text below the German airship reads, "Enemy Airship," and "Take Cover Immediately." On the right side, a British biplane is shown, representing the Allied forces' efforts to defend against these attacks. The text below the British plane reads, "Friendly Aeroplane," and "Do Not Fire." The use of silhouettes allowed for quick identification of the aircraft during wartime, making this information sheet an essential tool for civilians and military personnel alike. The simplicity and clarity of the design underscore the importance of vigilance and awareness during a time of conflict. This historic print, from the Mary Evans Picture Library and Onslow Auctions Limited, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and the ways in which public information was disseminated during the First World War.
