About the Item

Albert Sébille 🇫🇷 (1874-1953), spent all his youth in Marseille and was trained at the fine arts of this city. At the age of twenty he moved to Paris. He did not practice impressionism, which was beginning at that time, but preferred maritime narrative painting, which led him to be appointed Painter of the Navy in 1907. After the war, he became attached to the newspaper l'Illustration. Then he worked for the maritime league. He realized many posters during his career, including a large series of famous posters for the major shipping companies of the time. The Société générale des transports maritimes (SGTM) was a shipping company created in 1865. It operated lines from the port of Le Havre with its two mythical liners: Bretagne and Provence.

1918 original poster titled Ligue Maritime Française - Les Réalités de la Guerre
Located in PARIS, FR
The 1918 original poster titled Ligue Maritime Française - Les Réalités de la Guerre sur Mer was created by Léon Haffner, a renowned French artist and naval illustrator. Known for his depictions of maritime themes, Haffner produced this piece during the final year of World War I, under the commission of the Ligue Maritime Française. This poster was part of a broader campaign by the Ligue Maritime Française to raise awareness of France’s naval challenges and achievements during the war. The focus was on the harsh realities faced by the French Navy as it defended the country’s waters against the threat of German U-boats (submarines). By highlighting the significant victories of the French Navy, particularly the destruction of numerous German submarines, this work was intended to educate the public about the importance of France's maritime defense during the war. The Ligue Maritime Française played a crucial role in promoting maritime interests in France, especially during a time when naval power was critical to national security. Through this poster and similar works, the organization aimed to strengthen public support for the war effort by emphasizing the vital role of the French Navy in protecting the nation. Léon Haffner's involvement in this project underscores his reputation as an artist who could convey the significance of naval warfare through his work. His contributions helped elevate public consciousness regarding the maritime front of World War I, fostering both pride in French naval accomplishments and awareness of the ongoing risks and challenges faced by the nation at sea. The 1918 poster Les Réalités de la Guerre sur Mer is more than just a piece of wartime propaganda; it serves as a historical document, reflecting the broader efforts of France to mobilize public opinion and support for the war. It remains an important artifact from World War I, capturing a critical aspect of the conflict and Léon Haffner's role in illustrating the maritime realities of that time.
