EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating air raid on London during the Blitz in World War II. The image, a colour lithograph created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases the intense bombardment that engulfed Britain's capital between 1940 and 1943. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as fires rage throughout the city, casting an eerie glow against the night sky. Aerial warfare is depicted through searchlights piercing through billowing smoke, creating beams of light that desperately try to locate enemy aircraft. This powerful illustration was originally featured in "Salute to Victory" a promotional booklet for State Express cigarettes published in London around 1945. It serves as a haunting reminder of the resilience and courage displayed by Londoners during this dark period of history. St. Paul's Cathedral stands tall amidst the devastation, symbolizing hope and strength amid adversity. This iconic landmark became a symbol of British resistance during the Blitz, surviving countless bombing raids unscathed. As we reflect on this piece from our private collection, it transports us back to a time when ordinary citizens faced unimaginable challenges on their home front. It reminds us of both the horrors endured and triumphs achieved during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War II.
