EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration transports us back to the ominous skies of Paris, France during the dark days of World War I in 1915. The night sky is dominated by the menacing presence of Zeppelins, their massive silhouettes casting an eerie glow as they raid the city below. Searchlights beam up from the ground, trying to mark and target the enemy aircraft as ground-based artillery fires rapidly, explosions lighting up the night sky in a desperate attempt to defend against the relentless attack. The city of Paris, once a symbol of peace and culture, is now a battlefield under siege. The stark contrast between the tranquil darkness of the night and the chaotic explosions creates a haunting image that serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war. This illustration offers a unique glimpse into history, capturing the fear and determination of those on the ground as they fought to protect their city from the terror of the Zeppelin raids.
