Poster "2. Humoristische Karte von Europa im Jahre 1914 (Humorous map of Europe in 1914)"

This map is the second of two satirical geographical caricatures of European countries by artist Karl Lehmann-Dumont, which was published at the beginning of the First World War. She portrays Germany and Austria-Hungary as circus trainers and tamers of fiercely hostile animals that inhabit an increasingly strange and paradoxical European menagerie. In particular, Russian wolves and rhino, a British crocodile and inserted eastern dragon and monkeys representing the Japanese.
