About the Item

Battle of Maubeuge 1914 – WWI German Illustrated War Print, Color Lithograph This vivid color lithograph depicts the Battle of Maubeuge during the opening phase of World War I. Issued in 1914 as part of a contemporary German illustrated war series, the print presents the conflict as it was visually reported to the public while events were still unfolding, rather than as a later historical reconstruction. The composition is highly animated, with advancing infantry, cavalry, artillery fire, and fallen figures spread across an open battlefield. Strong color contrasts, expressive line work, and bursts of smoke and explosion convey a sense of urgency and immediacy typical of early twentieth-century visual war reporting. The scene is both dramatic and decorative, giving the print presence beyond a purely military or documentary context. The sheet was printed on thin, lightly toned paper, characteristic of mass-circulation illustrated war prints of the period. This lightweight paper stock was intended for wide distribution and contributes to the fragile, authentic character of the work, reflecting its original function as topical illustrated journalism. Translation of the original German title and caption (printed below the image): “The Battle near Maubeuge, the English routed. The great victory reported on the morning of 28 August over the French Northern Army in conjunction with Belgian troops, as well as the simultaneous victory of the army of General von Kluck over the English army southwest of Maubeuge, is magnificently completed by the report received during the course of 28 August that the English army has once again been completely defeated, namely north of Saint-Quentin. 12,000 English soldiers were taken prisoner.” Condition report: Printed on thin paper as issued. Light overall age toning consistent with paper type. Minor edge wear and small handling marks at the margins. No major tears, losses, or repairs observed. Overall well preserved for a wartime illustrated print on fragile paper stock. Folding line as issued. Framing suggestions: A dark wood or black frame with an off-white or light grey mat enhances the strong colors while keeping the presentation calm and refined. Particularly suitable for studies, libraries, corridors, or historically inspired interiors. Technique: Color lithograph Maker: Robrahn & Co., Magdeburg, published 1914
