EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon print from 1915, titled "Kaiser Kabot: The Ham Actor," satirically portrays Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany in four distinct theatrical roles, reflecting the political tensions of World War I. In the first scene, the Kaiser ignores international treaties, depicted as casually tossing aside a crumpled piece of paper labeled "Treaty." In the second scene, he is shown being deceitful, with a sly grin as he holds a mask labeled "Lying." The third scene finds him embroiled in litigation, surrounded by legal documents and a gavel, while in the final scene, he takes on the role of Tartuffe, a hypocritical character from Molière's play, with objects being thrown at him from an angry audience. The objects, labeled "Carrot" and "Boot," are likely references to the infamous "Carrot and Stick" diplomacy and the "Booted Out" phrase used to describe Germany's expulsion from the League of Nations. This satirical print serves as a poignant reminder of the tensions and ridicule that characterized the wartime relationship between Germany and the United States, with Kaiser Wilhelm II serving as an unwitting performer on the global stage.
