A Quick Change of Front: A Humorous Depiction of Anti-German Sentiment during World War I This print, titled "A Quick Change of Front" by C. Harrison, offers a glimpse into the societal shifts that occurred during the early days of World War I. The image portrays a German shopkeeper, once a proud purveyor of Teutonic delicatessen products, making a hasty transformation into an English shopkeeper selling distinctly British items. As hostilities between Germany and England began, the shopkeeper, named Johann Schmidt, found it necessary to adapt quickly to the changing political climate. In this humorous cartoon, he is shown shedding his German identity and becoming John Smith. The shop's offerings also underwent a significant change. Frankfurters were replaced with Cambridge sausages, hock with ginger beer and lemonade, and Strassburg pie with Melton Mowbray pork pies. Even the shop's dachshund dog was replaced with a more British-looking terrier. This quick change of front was a reflection of the anti-German sentiment that was sweeping across the United Kingdom during this period. The print, which dates back to 1914, serves as a poignant reminder of the ways in which people and businesses adapted to the changing political landscape during the First World War. The cartoon's humorous take on the situation adds an interesting layer to the historical narrative. It provides a glimpse into the lighter side of a time marked by significant upheaval and change. This print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on World War I, anti-German sentiment, or the social history of the era.
