Die Karikatur im Weltkriege

A contemporaneous study of wartime satire that surveys how caricatures reflected and shaped public feeling across belligerent and neutral countries. The author assembles and discusses numerous cartoons and prints, contrasts present-day humor with that of earlier conflicts, and considers differences in national press activity and publishing during war. The text treats cartoons as morale tools, propaganda instruments, and cultural documents, highlights stylistic tendencies and notable periodicals and artists, and urges rapid collection of ephemeral sheets as historical evidence while illustrating how humor persisted even amid widespread hardship.
