EDITORS COMMENTS
"This satirical cartoon, dated 1915, depicts a plump and obese German man, with ginger hair and a red beard, gluttonously devouring a large plate of pork and cabbage during the First World War. The man's messy table is scattered with bread, a knife, and a fork, as he guzzles down his meal with a stein of beer in hand. The image, which is representative of the negative stereotypes and caricatures that were prevalent during the conflict, portrays the German people as greedy and gluttonous. The cartoon, with its messy scene and the man's ugly expression, is a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the war and the suffering experienced by millions. The image is a poignant reminder of the propaganda and prejudice that fueled the tensions and hostilities of the 1910s, and the devastating impact of the First World War on Europe and its people."
