This powerful collection, depicting the German Imperial Army,
showcases the work of the contemporary combat artists and
illustrators from both sides from the Great War era. Included here
are the works of serious artists, propagandists, illustrators and
humourists. The result is a vivid graphic record of life and death
in the German army, as reported to contemporary audiences at a time
when the events of the Great War were still unfolding. During the
Great War artists and illustrators produced a highly accurate
visual record of the fleeting moments the bulky cameras couldn't
reproduce. These works form a body of war reportage that are as
valid as the written word. Today, the work of the combat
illustrators and the official war artists from the Great War era is
overlooked by historians in favour of photographs, but these
illustrations are nonetheless important, as they provide a
contemporary record of hand-to-hand fighting, trench raids, aerial
dogfights, sea battles, desperate last stands, night actions and
cavalry charges.
