    The image is of the bombing of the French Fleet docked at Mers-el-kebir at the beginning of the war when France fell to the Germans and the Vichy Government was working for the Germans. The Allies fearing that the fleet would be used by the germans against them decided to attack and destroy the fleet. Although only one battleship was sunk others were damaged and over 1297 French sailors perished. Rare and signed lithograph by one of France’s best marine artists.
