EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing cartoon, titled "The real Galette des Rois" or "The Epiphany cake," depicts a significant moment during World War I in 1916. The image shows King Ferdinand of Bulgaria and Sultan Mehmed V of the Ottoman Empire, both dressed in their respective uniforms, seated at a table and sharing a stash of money. A smiling German soldier, identified by his pointed helmet and uniform, watches over them. The scene is a satirical commentary on the Central Powers' alliance during the war. The Galette des Rois, also known as the Epiphany cake or the King's Cake, is a traditional French dessert served on Twelfth Night, celebrating the coming of the Magi to the infant Jesus. However, in this cartoon, the term "Galette des Rois" takes on a different meaning. The kings, represented by Ferdinand and Mehmed, are seen dividing their wealth, symbolizing the political and financial alliances between the Bulgarian and Ottoman leaders and their German ally. The cartoon's vivid details capture the historical context of the time. The kings are depicted with their regal insignia, while the German soldier wears his distinctive helmet and uniform. The table is adorned with coins and bags of gold, emphasizing the wealth being shared. The overall mood is lighthearted, with the smiling German soldier adding an ironic touch to the scene. This cartoon offers a unique perspective on the political dynamics during WWI and sheds light on the complex alliances between the Central Powers. It serves as a reminder of the intricacies of international relations and the role of diplomacy during times of war.
