Le Reddition de la Flotte Allemande; le 21 novembre 1918, a midi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by the renowned British artist, Norman Wilkinson, depicting a pivotal moment in maritime history during the First World War. The image captures the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet, as it sails into the waters of Rosyth, Scotland, under the watchful gaze of the Allied naval forces. On the fateful day of November 21, 1918, at midday, the grand battleships of the German navy, leading a long column of 70 warships, arrived in the British waters, marking the end of the naval warfare in the North Sea. The morning had seen the Allied naval forces advancing towards the German fleet, which was being escorted back to its surrender point, enclosed by the mighty armada. The scene covers an impressive 11 kilometers of frontage and 25 kilometers in depth, with the fleet stretching out on the vast expanse of the sea. The smoke from the ships' chimneys adds to the dramatic atmosphere, as the victorious Allied forces prepare to take possession of the defeated German fleet. This poignant moment in history is beautifully captured in black and white, reflecting the gritty reality of the era. The print, originally published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, stands as a testament to the power and majesty of naval warfare during the First World War. Norman Wilkinson's masterful depiction of "Le Reddition de la Flotte Allemande" is a must-have for any history buff, art enthusiast, or collector, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the significant events that shaped our world.
