EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the poignant aftermath of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania during World War I. The photograph features a page from an archive of correspondence relating to the tragic event, specifically a letter from G Archibald of Paris, dated 1915. The Lusitania, a Cunard liner, was sunk off the coast of Ireland on May 7, 1915, resulting in the loss of over 1,100 lives. Among the passengers was a valuable painting by the Old Master Dutch artist Peter Paul Rubens, titled 'The Holy Family.' The painting, purchased for £4000 by an individual named Williamson, was being transported on the Lusitania as part of his estate. In this letter, Archibald inquires with Cunard if they have any knowledge of the painting's whereabouts following the sinking. The communication, typed in French and dated 1915, is a poignant reminder of the human impact of the war and the loss of irreplaceable treasures. The letter adds an intriguing layer of history to the painting, which is now a rare and valuable artifact from the 1910s and the Great War era.
