EDITORS COMMENTS
This savage caricature, titled "Le Megalomane Microcephale" (The megalomaniac microcephalic), depicts Crown Prince Wilhelm of Germany, also known as Friedrich Wilhelm von Preussen, born in 1882. The image was created during World War I, in 1915, and satirically portrays the prince as an idiotic and clueless figure, wearing a black smoking uniform and a military cap adorned with numerous medals and honors. The caricature intensifies the public's perception of Crown Prince Wilhelm as a dissolute and useless member of the German royal family. The caricature's title, "megalomaniac microcephalic," further emphasizes the satirical intent, suggesting the prince's alleged megalomania and small skull. The image reflects the growing disillusionment and criticism of the German royalty during the war, as the public questioned their ability to lead and make sound decisions. Crown Prince Wilhelm, the eldest son of Kaiser Wilhelm II, was known for his extravagant lifestyle and lack of military acumen. He was often criticized for his involvement in the infamous "Dolphin Incident," where he and his friends shot and killed a rare white dolphin during a hunting trip. This incident, among others, fueled the public's perception of the prince as an out-of-touch and insensitive member of the German royal family. The caricature serves as a stark reminder of the public's perception of Crown Prince Wilhelm during World War I, highlighting the disconnect between the royalty and the common people. The image's savage satire underscores the growing dissatisfaction with the German monarchy and their role in the war effort.
