Coming Down! WW1
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and satirical British postcard depicting the ominous image of a German airship, with the face of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the former German Emperor, contorted in fear as the zeppelin plunges to earth in a fiery blaze. The night sky is dark and ominous, with thick plumes of smoke billowing from the burning airship, illuminated by the bright orange and red flames. The rural fields below offer a stark contrast to the chaotic scene unfolding above. This powerful and provocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of war and the fear it instilled in the hearts of people during the First World War. The use of a caricatured face of Kaiser Wilhelm II adds an element of satire and mockery, reflecting the anti-German sentiment that was prevalent during this time. The airship, a symbol of German military might and innovation, is shown in its final moments, coming down from the sky, signifying the end of the German threat. The image captures the sense of unease and uncertainty that gripped the world during the early days of the war, as the reality of the devastating conflict began to take hold. This evocative postcard, produced during the height of the war, is a testament to the power of visual imagery in shaping public opinion and fueling the war effort. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring impact it had on the world." Image Reference: Liss Fine Art / Mary Evans Picture Library, "Coming Down!
