EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Zukunstkrieg" or "Future War," depicts a chilling prediction of the next major conflict that was published in Germany in 1894. The image illustrates an airborne assault by the German military on a fortified French fortress. The advanced technology displayed in this print, which was produced over a decade before the first powered flight, is a testament to the visionary minds of the time. The German airborne divisions, shown in the print, are depicted gliding towards their target using large, wing-like contraptions. These early attempts at flight technology were inspired by the works of Jules Verne and other science fiction writers of the era. The German soldiers are armed with rifles and other advanced weaponry, indicating that they were prepared for a modern, technologically advanced war. The French fortress, with its thick walls and towering turrets, is a formidable obstacle for the German attackers. However, the German airborne divisions seem undeterred, and their determination is evident as they prepare to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the French defenders. The print also showcases the use of dirigibles, or airships, as a means of transporting troops and supplies to the battlefield. These massive airships, with their distinctive balloon-like shape, were a symbol of the technological advancements of the late 19th century. The "Zukunstkrieg" print is a fascinating glimpse into the future as imagined by the people of the late 1800s. It is a reminder of the power of human imagination and the ability to envision and create technologies that once seemed impossible. Despite the fact that this prediction of future warfare was inaccurate in many ways, it is a reminder of the importance of innovation and the role it plays in shaping the course of history.
