EDITORS COMMENTS
is a historic lithograph created by Douglas Macpherson, depicting the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet in the Firth of Forth, Scotland. The print, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a pivotal moment in World War I history. In the image, the German war flag is being hoisted aboard the "Friedrich-der-Grosse," the German admiral battleship, and other surrendering vessels. The scene takes place at 3 hours and 57 minutes of the night on November 21, 1918, in Rosyth, Fife, Scotland. The North Sea serves as the backdrop to this significant event, marking the end of the naval warfare between Germany and the Allied forces. The print showcases the victorious Allied fleet, with their flags flying high, as they transport the German ships to their new owners. The peaceful waters of the Firth of Forth contrast sharply with the turmoil of the war, symbolizing the transition from conflict to postwar tranquility. Macpherson's masterful composition conveys the magnitude of the moment, with the "Friedrich-der-Grosse" taking center stage amidst the other warships. The intricate details of the vessels, flags, and the surrounding water add depth and authenticity to the image. This print is a testament to the power of visual storytelling, offering a glimpse into a pivotal moment in world history.
