EDITORS COMMENTS
Keep Your Mouth Shut: A WWI-era Fable of Cunning and Confidentiality - This cartoon, titled "Keep Your Mouth Shut," is a fresh take on the classic Aesop fable of the cunning fox and the talkative crow. Set against the backdrop of the First World War in 1916, this image finds the fox and the crow perched on a tree branch, with the fox attempting to coax the crow into opening its beak and dropping the tempting piece of cheese dangling from its mouth. However, the clever crow, donning a military helmet and holding a bayonette, remains resolute, refusing to give in to the sly fox's trickery. The tree in the background is adorned with notices and warnings, reflecting the heightened sense of secrecy and confidentiality during wartime. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the importance of keeping information quiet during times of conflict, and highlights the cunning and trickery that often accompany such situations. The black and white medium further emphasizes the historical significance of this moment in time.
