EDITORS COMMENTS
Scharnhorst" coule à quatre heures," translated to "British Victory in the Falkland Islands; The 'Scharnhorst' Sinks at Four O'Clock," is a captivating lithograph from the first volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919: Volume I," published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1926. The image portrays a pivotal moment during the Battle of the Falkland Islands, which took place on December 8, 1914, during the early stages of the First World War. The print depicts the British Royal Navy's triumph over the German Imperial Navy, with the sinking of the German cruisers SMS Scharnhorst and SMS Gneisenau. The Scharnhorst, a powerful and advanced warship, is shown in the final moments of its demise, engulfed by the waves of the South Atlantic Ocean. The British cruiser, with its Union Jack flag proudly flying, dominates the scene, symbolizing the British naval supremacy and the turning point in the war. The print captures the raw power and intensity of naval warfare during the early 20th century. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the courage and determination of the sailors involved in this significant battle. The print also highlights the strategic importance of the Falkland Islands and the role they played in the broader context of the First World War. The creator of this lithograph remains unknown, but the image is a testament to the historical significance of this event and the enduring power of visual storytelling. The print serves as a valuable reminder of the naval battles that shaped the course of the First World War and the world as we know it today.
