EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph, titled "An Unpleasant Shock for the Captain of the German Gunboat 'Komet'" we are transported back to October 1914, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image captures a moment of intense surprise and disbelief on the face of the German gunboat's captain. The artist, Charles Edward Dixon, skillfully portrays the tension and uncertainty that permeated every corner of war-torn Europe during this time. Through his meticulous attention to detail, we can almost feel the palpable shock reverberating through the air as an unexpected turn of events unfolds before our eyes. As viewers, we are left wondering what could have caused such a profound reaction from a seasoned military leader. Perhaps it was an unforeseen attack by enemy forces or an unexpected obstacle in their path. Whatever it may be, Dixon leaves us with more questions than answers. This powerful artwork serves as a reminder of both the bravery and vulnerability exhibited by soldiers during times of conflict. It is a testament to their unwavering dedication and sacrifice in service to their respective nations. Now preserved in a private collection but once published in "Deeds That Thrill The Empire" this historical print continues to captivate audiences today with its evocative portrayal of one man's unpleasant shock amidst the turmoil of war.
