Title: SMS Baden: German Coastal Defense Ship in Turbulent Seas, 1903 Chromolithograph
This 1903 chromolithograph by Hugo Graf, from 'Deutschland zur See', features the SMS Baden, a coastal defense ship of the German Imperial Navy. Part of the Sachsen-class, SMS Baden was launched in 1880 and built for coastal protection with heavy armor and armament suited for near-shore engagements.
Measuring approximately 20 x 33 cm on its original 39 x 51 cm mount, the print captures the ship navigating stormy waters, reflecting its robust design. Though it saw limited action, SMS Baden symbolizes Germany's early focus on coastal defense, a strategic priority before the era of high-seas dominance. This print’s mount shows light wear and spotting, enhancing its historic appeal. Ideal for collectors of maritime and pre-WWI German naval history.
