EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "WORLD WAR I: CARTOON, 1915. Belgium: the return of the Goth" captures an American cartoon by Boardman Robinson from 1915. This powerful image reflects the anti-German sentiment prevalent during World War I. The cartoon depicts a monstrous figure representing Germany, referred to as "the Goth" returning to Belgium with destructive intentions. In this thought-provoking artwork, Robinson uses symbolism to convey his pacifist views and critique German aggression. The monster is shown wearing a pickelhaube helmet, a symbol associated with German militarism at that time. Armed with a knife and bombs, it represents the threat posed by Germany's military might. The destruction caused by the Goth is evident in the background of the cartoon, depicting ruined buildings and terrified civilians. The artist highlights Belgium's suffering as one of the major battlegrounds during World War I. Robinson's cartoon serves as both political commentary and propaganda against Germany during this tumultuous period in history. By portraying Germany as a menacing force responsible for devastation and violence, he aims to rally support for America's involvement in the war effort. This print provides us with valuable insight into early 20th-century attitudes towards war and politics while showcasing Boardman Robinson's talent for using art as a means of social commentary.
