About the Item

The 1914 original poster depicting the Seuere battle in the sky between French and German forces offers a striking glimpse into the tumultuous era of the Great European War. Produced amid the throes of conflict and printed by Shobido & Co in Tokyo, this artwork encapsulates the intensity and gravity of aerial warfare during World War I. With meticulous detail and powerful imagery, the poster vividly portrays the aerial combat between French and German fighter planes. Against a backdrop of ominous clouds and billowing smoke, the aircraft engage in a dramatic dogfight, their maneuvers evoking a sense of chaos and urgency. The scene captures the perilous nature of aerial combat, where pilots risked their lives amidst the vast expanse of the sky. As a product of its time, the poster serves as both a historical artifact and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. It reflects the widespread mobilization of resources and manpower that characterized World War I, as nations across Europe and beyond were drawn into a conflict of unprecedented scale and ferocity. Printed by Shobido & Co in Tokyo, the poster also speaks to the global reach of the Great War, highlighting Japan's role as a participant in the conflict, albeit primarily through its support for the Allied powers. The inclusion of this battle scene in a Japanese publication underscores the war's impact on nations far beyond the borders of Europe.
