EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the sailing notice and German warning published in the New York Herald on May 1st, 1915. The lithograph showcases the American School's artistic talent and is now part of a private collection. The image holds immense historical importance as it relates to the tragic event that unfolded shortly after this publication. The Cunard liner RMS Lusitania fell victim to a German U-boat attack later that year, resulting in the devastating loss of 1198 lives. This incident played a pivotal role in shaping the United States' decision to enter World War I. The photograph not only highlights the danger faced by transatlantic travelers during this tumultuous period but also underscores how newspapers served as crucial sources of information for people around the world. It reminds us of their power to disseminate news and warnings across borders. The intricate details captured within this print showcase various elements such as ships, liners, and transportation methods prevalent at that time. Its black-and-white engraving style adds depth and character to each line drawn with precision. As we reflect upon this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us remember those who lost their lives aboard RMS Lusitania and acknowledge its impact on global events during World War I.
