Lehmann-Dumont (Karl), Humoristische Karte von Europa im Jahre 1914, published Dresden, 1914, colour printed photolithographic allegorical map, inset map of Japan, old folds with small holes where folds cross, 350 x 490 mm An uncommon allegorical depiction of Europe, with the bias on Germany and Prussia. Undoubtedly published for amusement it concentrates on the national characteristics and the foibles of each nation, but there is also a more disturbing element of propoganda. The date of publication and the depiction of national stereotypes will prove to be highly prophetic of the carnage that was shortly to engulf the continent. (1)
Europe. Cret‚ (B.), Carte Symbolique de L'Europe, Guerre Lib‚ratrice 1914 - 1915, published Paris, 1914, colour lithograph, old folds, slight fraying to margins, repaired closed tears affecting image, some splits to old folds, strengthened on verso, some dust soiling, slight creasing, 455 x 570 A satirical French map showing the state of Europe at the outbreak of World War I. Great Britain is represented by a dreadnought whilst Ireland sails a dinghy in the battleship's wake. An enraged German bull charges at the French cockerel and Marianne pokes at the bull with a short sword. At the same time the German bull is poked in its rump by an imperious Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. The representation of Austria-Hungary as a fallen crown and a series of graves is deeply prophetic, suggesting the impending end of that empire. Poland is a young girl pleading to Russia whilst Italy turns its back on the continent and plays a lute. Sweden and Norway are shown as beautiful young girls in an almost sapphic embrace. The map is a relatively gentle depiction of European national characteristics before the continent descended into chaos. Uncommon. (1)
