What it is
A colour lithograph Siegmund von Suchodolski made in 1918 for the Deutsche Luftkriegsbeute Ausstellung, 69 by 87 cm, a sheet wider than it is tall, from the Rehse-Archiv für Zeitgeschichte und Publizistik, now at the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The exhibition showed aircraft taken from the enemy, the booty of the air war, and the sheet is prized by aviation collectors.
What to notice
A burning British biplane plunging toward the ground, signed Siegm. v. Suchodolski.
An enemy plane, falling straight into a museum.
