EDITORS COMMENTS
Big Bertha: When Size Really Did Matter! This incredible print captures the awe-inspiring power of Big Bertha M42, the German gun that bombarded Paris all the way from over 100 km away during World War I. With its massive gauge of 210 mm and towering length of 34 m, this behemoth was a force to be reckoned with. Manufactured by Krupp, one of the leading industrial giants at the time, it's no wonder they named it after their own daughter! Designed by engineer Rausenberger, this piece of artillery was a true masterpiece in both engineering and destruction. As depicted in this vividly colored engraving from La Domenica del Corriere in 1918, you can almost feel the ground shake as Big Bertha unleashes its devastating firepower upon Paris. In an era where bigger often meant better, Big Bertha certainly lived up to its name. Its historical significance cannot be overstated; it symbolizes not only Germany's military might but also the technological advancements made during this tumultuous period in European history. So let this artwork transport you back to a time when cannons ruled the battlefield and size truly did matter. Just make sure you're standing far enough away!
