EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from the First World War - the German U-Boat SM UC-5, which was captured by the Allies and brought to New York City in 1917. Renamed U-Buy-a-Bond, this minelayer submarine took part in the Liberty Loan Parade, symbolizing a powerful metaphor for fundraising efforts during wartime.
The image shows the submarine on display in Central Park, surrounded by curious onlookers. The sight of this once formidable naval ship out of its usual context must have been both intriguing and unsettling for those who witnessed it. The photograph is a stark reminder of the impact that war has on countries and civilians alike.
George Graham Bain's black and white composition perfectly encapsulates the historical significance of this moment. The contrast between the dark silhouette of the submarine against the backdrop of Central Park highlights its imposing presence amidst a civilian setting.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when nations were at war and citizens rallied together to support their cause. It serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice, patriotism, and unity in times of turmoil. This photograph is not just a snapshot from history; it is a powerful symbol of resilience and solidarity in the face of adversity.
