"Guerre finie! Boche napoo!" : supplement to the Illustrated London News, Nov. 23, 1918

Description

Language: French ; English

Artist(s): Woodville, Richard Caton, 1856-1927

Notes: "R. Caton Woodville 1918" ; "This painting will form a historic souvenir of a historic event--the entry of British troops into the outskirts of Mons on the day of the Armistice, November 11, 1918, amid the joyful welcome of the inhabitants. It places on record also the kind of mutual greetings which were exchanged between / our men and the people. They took the form of such familiar phrases as 'Guerre finie! Boche Napoo!' Short, but very expressive and adequate to the occasion. All that they implied was visible in kindling eyes and happy faces. / From the painting by R. Caton Woodville. Copyrighted in the United States and Canada."--text, bottom margin, centered.

The Theodore G. and Eleanor S. Congdon Maritime Collection contains 190 items that pertain to commercial, naval, and recreational maritime-related activities primarily in the United States and the United Kingdom. Materials date from approximately 1700 to 1990, with the bulk dating from 1800-1935. The collection consists of prints (engravings, etchings, aquatints, and lithographs), photographs, manuscript materials, publications, portfolios and bound volumes, and a single painting. The items deal primarily with whaling, yachting, and naval battles, and the vessels and people involved in these activities. The collection contains materials as diverse as early 18th-century engravings of whaling expeditions, letters from sailors working on whaling vessels during the 19th century, photographs of yachts competing for the America's Cup in the early 20th century, 19th-century lithographs of naval ships engaged in battle, and letters of marque and safe conduct signed by presidents of the United States, from George Washington to James Buchanan. Includes some letters and bills of sale of William Hathaway Jr. of New Bedford, Massachusetts. These items offer a wealth of information regarding the vessels that operated throughout three centuries, as well as the fishermen, sailors, and sportsmen who manned them.
