EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil drawing, titled 'The German Air Fleet; On board a zeppelin: in the rear, under attack by Allied planes' dates back to 1917, taken from the pages of 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image captures the intensity and danger of aerial warfare during the First World War, with a German airship coming under relentless assault from Allied planes in the rear. The zeppelin's crew, a mix of determined and anxious faces, man their guns as they prepare to defend their vessel. The interior of the airship is filled with a sense of urgency, as men scurry about, performing their duties amidst the chaos of battle. The black and white drawing masterfully conveys the tension and uncertainty of the moment, with smoke billowing from the zeppelin and bullets whizzing past. The use of pencil adds a sense of fragility and vulnerability to the scene, highlighting the precarious nature of air transport during wartime. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back to a time of conflict and courage, where the skies above were a battleground for the forces of war.
