EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking lithograph print titled "Submarine Monster" by Henri Lanos captures the essence of satirical cartooning during World War I. The image, originally published in The Graphic in 1915, depicts a grotesque and menacing sea creature emerging from the depths of the ocean. With its sharp teeth, bulging eyes, and ominous presence, the submarine monster symbolizes the fears and anxieties surrounding underwater warfare during this tumultuous period.
Lanos' illustration is part of a larger series featured in Sittengeschichte des Weltkrieges (History of Morals During the World War), a publication that delved into various aspects of society during wartime. Through his scathing satire and exaggerated imagery, Lanos critiques the destructive power of submarines and their impact on naval warfare.
The detailed rendering of helmets and visors worn by soldiers adds to the authenticity of this historical piece. As viewers gaze upon this artwork, they are transported back to a time when Germany was at war with Europe, highlighting themes of conflict and tension prevalent throughout early 20th-century history.
This print serves as both a visual representation of wartime propaganda and an artistic commentary on human nature's capacity for destruction. It stands as a testament to Lanos' skill as an illustrator and his ability to capture complex emotions through his work.
