EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon, dated December 1917, offers a German perspective on the Allied powers during World War I. The image depicts France (represented by Marianne, the symbol of the French Republic, wearing a revolutionary cap and top hat), Britain (symbolized by a lion with a Union Jack flag), and Russia (represented by a Cossack with a clenched fist) in the stocks. The trio is surrounded by lists detailing the territories that the Central Powers believed they would claim as part of the peace settlement. The cartoon's title, which translates to "The Three Enemies in the Stocks," underscores the German view of these nations as adversaries. The battered and defiant expressions on the faces of the Allied figures add to the satirical tone, highlighting the sense of determination and resilience in the face of adversity. This poignant and thought-provoking image provides a unique glimpse into the wartime mindset of the Central Powers and the complex dynamics of the First World War.
