Explore the sculptures & engravings of Walther Eberbach (1866-1944), a German artist from Heidelberg. Known for detailed realism & historical themes, his work reflects a rich artistic legacy.
During the Gallipoli campaign in 1915, the Royal Navy attempted to force the straits of the Dardanelles resulting in the humiliating loss of several warships. First Sea Lord John Fischer eventually called off the attempt. Ultimately, the failed Gallipoli campaign led to his resignation and to the resignation of his superior the First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill (cf. no. 12).Death waist-deep in the sea sinking a British battleship; within curve around: BRITANNIA·RULE—THE·WAVES·THOUGH?
