EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WORLD WAR I: CARTOON, 1914. Over the Carpathians" takes us back to the early days of World War I. Created by American cartoonist Boardman Robinson in 1914, this artwork brilliantly captures the political tensions and military advancements of that time. The image depicts Russia personified as a formidable bear, symbolizing its strength and determination. The Russian bear is shown advancing across the treacherous Carpathian mountains, armed with a rifle and ready for battle. This powerful representation reflects Russia's ambition to expand its influence during the war. Robinson's cartoon cleverly conveys both the seriousness and absurdity of war through his use of satire. By anthropomorphizing nations into animals, he highlights their distinct characteristics while commenting on their actions within global politics. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we are transported back to an era filled with uncertainty and conflict. It serves as a reminder of the immense human cost endured during World War I and prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
