159 - AIRSHIP - KOLOSSAL! (ZEPPELIN 3006 - EIFFEL TOWER). 1914. Original lithograph by Henri Armengol (1884–1944), printed in color. Signed and dated on the plate. Vellum paper. Margins. German pride in its giant airships, the zeppelins, is mocked in this French poster, likely created after August 1914, the date of the first bombings of Liège and Antwerp against the Allies. Carrying a miniature representation of Emperor Wilhelm II and heading toward a group of soldiers in silhouette, the airship leaves monuments of civilization in its destructive wake: St. Basil’s Cathedral (Russia), the Great Sphinx of Giza (Egypt), the Mannequin Pis statue (Belgium), and the Eiffel Tower (France). 42 x 53.5 cm. Condition B (a few tears in the margins, one of which slightly affects the subject in the upper right corner; the reverse is partially sun-faded; a few creases in the upper and left margins; sun-fading in the upper margin slightly affecting the top of the subject).
