EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the terrifying reality of a Zeppelin raid over London during World War One. The image, taken by renowned photographer G.H. Davis in 1915, presents a sectional view of a Zeppelin airship in flight, with the ominous curve of a bomb trailing behind. The rapid motion of the airship is evident in the distorted shape of the Zeppelin's hull and the dispersed smoke trail. The bomb, dropped from great height, is shown in mid-air, its trajectory a testament to the destructive power of these aerial weapons. The backdrop of London's cityscape adds a sense of scale and urgency to the scene. The Zeppelin raids, which began in 1915, were a significant threat to the British population, causing widespread fear and damage. This historical print offers a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in wartime history, providing a visual record of the aerial warfare that shaped the First World War.
