Say When
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous commemorative art print from the era of World War I, featuring a satirical cartoon image of Tommy, a symbol of the British soldier, playfully spanking the Kaiser, the former German Emperor and King of Prussia. This 1d print, published as the "greatest hit at the Kaiser ever," is a testament to the wit and humor that pervaded the cultural discourse during the conflict. The reverse side of the print showcases an identical image, with Tommy's hand raised high, poised to deliver another playful spank to the Kaiser's bottom. The lighthearted nature of the print belies the serious tensions between the two powers that had led to the outbreak of war in 1914. The print's title, "Say When," suggests a sense of anticipation and control, with Tommy assuming the role of the dominant force. The Kaiser, depicted as a hapless figure, is reduced to a mere object of amusement. This image not only reflects the power dynamics between the two nations but also the popular sentiment towards the German leader. The "Say When" print is an intriguing piece of historical commemorative art, offering a unique perspective on the social and cultural context of World War I. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to capture the spirit of the times, providing a lighthearted and entertaining take on a complex and tumultuous period in history. This print, with its vivid colors and intricate details, is a must-have for any collector of military history, historical art, or World War I memorabilia. Its timeless humor and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of satire and wit in shaping public discourse.
