EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a German Medal commemorating Admiral Reinhard Scheer and the historic Battle of Jutland that took place on 31 May 1916. Crafted by Hugo Kaufmann, this metal medallion captures the essence of this significant naval confrontation during World War I. The reverse side of the medal, beautifully captured in this photograph, depicts a striking scene of two cruisers battling rough seas while a zeppelin hovers above. The inscription "Am Skagerrak 31. Mai 1916" further emphasizes the location and date of this momentous battle. On the obverse side (not shown), we find an image of Grand Admiral Reinhard von Scheer himself, who played a crucial role in leading Germany's navy during this intense conflict. This commemorative piece serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by both sides during one of history's most significant naval battles. It symbolizes not only the technological advancements in warfare with its depiction of firing guns and artillery but also highlights Germany's military prowess at that time. With its intricate design and historical significance, this German Medal stands as a testament to Admiral Scheer's leadership and marks an important chapter in military history. Derek Bayes has skillfully captured every detail through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the artistry behind it and its profound historical context.
