His Master's Voice: A Satirical Take on Kaiser Wilhelm II's Ailments during World War I by Captain Bruce Bairnsfather This cartoon, titled "His Master's Voice," is a poignant and humorous work by the renowned British satirical artist, Captain Bruce Bairnsfather. Created in 1917 during the height of World War I, this image offers a unique perspective on the political and historical landscape of the time. At the center of the composition lies an ailing Kaiser Wilhelm II, the former German Emperor, lying in bed. Surrounded by the trappings of luxury, Wilhelm holds a book titled "Life of Attila" in his hands, perhaps seeking solace or distraction from the chaos of war. The title of the book is an ironic reference to the historical figure of Attila the Hun, known for his military prowess and ruthless conquests, contrasting sharply with the weakened and vulnerable image of Wilhelm. Beside Wilhelm's bed, Old Bill, one of Bairnsfather's most popular characters, stands with a quizzical expression. In a playful and satirical tone, Old Bill asks, "What an ell of a mess you've made of the name of William?" This question serves as a commentary on the political instability and confusion that characterized Germany during the war, as well as a jab at Wilhelm's perceived ineptitude as a leader. This powerful and thought-provoking image offers a glimpse into the complexities of the historical moment, using humor and satire to shed light on the political and social issues of the time. As a testament to Bairnsfather's artistic talent and insight, "His Master's Voice" remains a fascinating and enduring piece of World War I history.
