EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The work of the underwater pirate" takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War I. The image, a colour lithograph by Charles John de Lacy, depicts a chilling scene of warfare on the high seas. In this dramatic illustration, we witness the aftermath of a German U-boat attack on a merchant ship. The vessel is seen listing heavily in the water, damaged and engulfed in smoke. The crew members are desperately abandoning their sinking ship, scrambling into lifeboats for survival. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the chaos and danger that defined submarine warfare during this time. It serves as a powerful reminder of the perilous conditions faced by sailors at sea. "The work of the underwater pirate" is part of an esteemed private collection and was originally featured in Charles R Gibson's book "Ships that Saved the Empire". This evocative artwork not only captures historical events but also pays tribute to those who served in Britain's naval forces during World War I. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to an era where warships ruled these treacherous waters. It stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity and reminds us of our shared history shaped by conflict and sacrifice.
