Created in 1919 as part of "The Owl" a Miscellany publication, this satirical drawing offers a unique perspective on British culture and society during the aftermath of World War I.

The flags fluttering above it represent remembrance and honor to those who sacrificed their lives in battle. This thought-provoking image captures both the grief and resilience that defined Britain's wartime experience. As a satirical cartoon, this artwork also serves as scathing satire towards war itself.

This print from Bridgeman Images provides an opportunity to delve into history through art. It transports us back to early 20th-century England when Europe was reeling from one of its deadliest conflicts – World War I.
