EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting image of German V-1 flying bombs soaring over London during World War II. The vibrant colors in this lithograph bring to life the harrowing moments of 1944-1945 when these deadly weapons rained down on the city. The illustration, originally featured in a promotional booklet for State Express cigarettes titled "Salute to Victory" showcases the devastating reality faced by Great Britain during this tumultuous period. As one gazes upon this piece, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the relentless bombardment and destruction caused by these flying bombs. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and resilience displayed by both civilians and military personnel alike during those dark days. It symbolizes not only the physical attacks endured but also represents an anecdote from history that shaped British society forever. As explosions light up the sky, buildings crumble under attack, and Londoners seek shelter from above, we are reminded of how war can leave an indelible mark on a nation's history. This photograph encapsulates not just a moment in time but also reflects upon themes such as aerial warfare, home front struggles, and international conflict. In our modern world where peace prevails between former enemies like Germany and Britain within the European Union (EU), it is important to remember past events like these so that we may never forget their significance or take for granted what has been achieved since then.
