About the piece
Painted in 1916 by John Fraser, this oil on canvas depicts the haunting atmosphere of a London street during a Zeppelin raid in October 1915. The composition uses a low-key palette and scattered points of light from street lamps and vehicle headlights to evoke the tension of wartime nightfall, while faint searchlights sweep across the sky toward a distant airship.
