EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the war alphabet illustrations by Henri Lanos, a renowned artist of the 19th-20th century. Published by Hachette et Cie around 1916, this piece is part of an eight-page collection measuring 31x23.5 cm and belongs to a private collection. The photograph specifically focuses on the letters Y and Z, depicting significant elements from World War I. The letter Y represents the Yser River in Nord Pas de Calais, France. This river holds historical importance as it witnessed intense battles during the war. The image captures the solemnity and gravity of this location. On the other hand, letter Z portrays a zeppelin, an iconic symbol of aerial warfare during that era. These airships were used for reconnaissance missions and bombing raids by various armed forces involved in World War I. Henri Lanos' illustrations beautifully capture these two contrasting aspects of war - one grounded in nature's serenity while the other soars through skies filled with uncertainty and danger. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as a reminder of humanity's resilience amidst conflict and destruction. It allows us to reflect upon history while appreciating art's ability to convey powerful messages beyond words alone. Photographed by Duvallon and preserved within Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder database, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers with its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
