EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sinking of a submarine, in 'Le Petit Parisien' on 11/11/1906" captures a tragic event that unfolded in the early 20th century. The artwork depicts the aftermath of the sinking of the submarine "Le Leutin" off the coast of Bizerte, North Africa. The scene is set in a bustling harbor as the damaged submarine is brought back to shore. The solemn atmosphere is intensified by the knowledge that this retrieval mission aims to recover the bodies of 15 sailors who lost their lives, including Commander Fepoux. The artist's attention to detail brings forth an eerie sense of loss and grief. The significance of this historical moment lies not only in its portrayal but also in its documentation by renowned photographer Leonard de Selva. This print serves as a poignant reminder of both human tragedy and technological advancements during this period. Through this image, we are transported back to an era when submarines were still relatively new inventions and naval warfare was evolving rapidly. It offers us a glimpse into French military history while shedding light on Tunisia's role within it. As we reflect upon this somber engraving, we are reminded once again how art has the power to capture moments frozen in time and evoke emotions that transcend centuries.
