EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts 'The French Submarine Boat, The Gustave Zédé,' created by French artist Marguerite Jacob around the turn of the 20th century. Named after its constructor, Gustave Zédé, this groundbreaking vessel was a marvel of early 20th-century technology. Propelled by electricity, the Gustave Zédé steamed an impressive 50 miles against strong winds and heavy seas between Toulon and Marseilles. In calmer conditions, it could travel underwater and discharge torpedoes, making it a formidable defensive force for the French coastline. Despite its advanced capabilities, the Gustave Zédé faced significant limitations. Its primary drawback was its inability to see underwater, leaving it blind to its surroundings and limiting its range of action. As a result, it could only effectively operate in defensive positions near the coast. This engraved print, published in 'Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX' by Cassell and Company, showcases the Gustave Zédé in all its glory. The image captures the boat's sleek design, with intricate details such as the propeller and torpedo tubes clearly visible. The artist's skillful use of contrast and shading adds depth and texture to the print, making it a fascinating glimpse into the history of underwater transportation. The print also features an inscription in the bottom left corner, crediting Marguerite Jacob as the artist and Henry Charles Seppings Wright as the engraver. Seppings Wright was a renowned British marine painter and etcher, known for his meticulous attention to detail and accurate depictions of ships and boats. His collaboration with Jacob on this print resulted in a stunning visual representation of the Gustave Zédé, a testament to the innovative spirit of the early 20th century.
