The painting depicts the spectacular sight of a burning Zeppelin, captured through a telescope from the Southfields area of London. This event relates to the Zeppelin raid that occurred on the night of September 2nd/3rd, 1916, during which the German airship Schutte-Lanz 11, commanded by Wilhelm Schramm, was shot down. The brave actions of 2nd Lieutenant William Leefe Robinson in his B.E.2C biplane led to the successful shooting down of the Zeppelin, which descended from a height of two miles to a field at Cuffley. The descent of the blazing S-L 11 was witnessed by many Londoners, as depicted in this painting. The vivid portrayal of the Zeppelin's fiery demise is a testament to Walter Hunt's skill as an artist. Walter Hunt (1861-1941) was a British painter known for his works depicting historical and military events. This painting is a significant addition to his oeuvre, capturing a pivotal moment in World War I history. The image is an intriguing reminder of the bravery and determination of those involved in the defense of London during the Zeppelin raids, and a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war.
