The End. . . late arrival of a German ship
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and haunting image captured by the talented artist Achille Beltrame. This color lithograph, part of a private collection, depicts the tragic fate of the former Germanic cruiser Frankfurt during World War One. In this illustration for Courier Sunday in September 1921, we witness the dramatic aftermath of an attack on the ship by US airships and airplanes. The once majestic vessel now lies sinking into the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, engulfed in billowing smoke and flames. The scene evokes a sense of destruction and loss as we contemplate the consequences of war. The bombing raids have left their mark on this symbol of German power, reducing it to ruins amidst crashing waves. It serves as a stark reminder that even mighty ships can be brought down by relentless aerial assaults. Beltrame's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the chaos and beauty within this devastating moment. The colors used convey a somber atmosphere while emphasizing the contrast between fire and water. This powerful artwork not only pays homage to those who perished aboard this ill-fated ship but also serves as an educational tool about wartime history. It reminds us that beneath all conflicts lie human lives caught up in forces beyond their control. As we gaze upon "The End. . . late arrival of a German ship" let us reflect on our shared humanity and strive for peace so that such scenes may never be repeated again.
