Description:
Ink on paper offset color lithograph illustrating the impact of Germany's U-boats on British shipping in 1917; the picture at the left, labeled "before," depicts heavy traffic in and out of London and other British ports; in the "after" picture at the right, just a handful of ships are at sea, while most of them are stuck in port, paralyzed by the possibility of U-boat attack in open water.
