EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Huns in Sport" by the renowned British humorous artist H.M. Bateman, dates back to 1917 during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Bateman, known for his satirical and amusing cartoons, offers a humorous take on the conduct of the Germans during this time. In this particular sketch, Bateman portrays a series of unsporting scenes involving the Germans, reflecting the widespread perception of their behavior on the battlefield. The Germans are shown indulging in decidedly unsporting behavior while participating in various sports, from blatantly cheating at croquet to using underhanded tactics in a tennis match. Bateman's keen sense of humor is evident in the exaggerated expressions and body language of the German characters, adding to the overall amusement of the piece. The title "The Huns in Sport" is a reference to the derogatory term "Huns," which was commonly used by the Allies to refer to the German soldiers during the war. Bateman's cartoon serves as a reflection of the animosity and distrust that existed between the British and German forces during this time. The print offers a unique perspective on the war, providing a glimpse into the morale and attitudes of the British public towards their enemies. Overall, "The Huns in Sport" is an intriguing and humorous piece of historical art that offers a glimpse into the wartime mindset of the British people. Bateman's skillful use of humor and satire continues to resonate with audiences today, making this print a valuable addition to any collection of World War I memorabilia or historical art.
