EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases the captured German minelaying submarine UC-5, taken in July 1916. The image provides a remarkable cross-section view of the vessel, revealing its intricate inner workings and design. The UC-5 gained notoriety after running aground on England's east coast in April 1916, leading to its crew scuttling the submarine. However, instead of being forgotten at the bottom of the sea, it was salvaged and put on display in both London and New York as part of a propaganda campaign during World War I. The postcard format allowed for widespread distribution and served as a powerful tool to highlight Britain's triumph over German naval warfare. It also provided an opportunity for people across Europe and beyond to witness firsthand the technological advancements made by both sides during this devastating conflict. This historic artifact offers us a glimpse into the realities of war at sea - from sailors navigating treacherous waters to submarines used as deadly weapons capable of laying mines that could sink enemy vessels with precision. As we examine this lithograph print today, it serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely during World War I while also shedding light on how art can be utilized for political purposes even amidst times of turmoil.
