EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "VERSAILLES TREATY CARTOON. Signed" takes us back to the year 1919, when the world was reeling from the aftermath of World War I. Created by American cartoonist Boardman Robinson, this artwork captures the essence of a crucial moment in history - the signing of the Versailles Treaty and the establishment of the League of Nations. The image is filled with symbolic elements that convey powerful messages about politics and international relations during that time. In one corner, we see a skeletal figure representing death, ominously hovering over a group of mice symbolizing smaller nations affected by war. A vulture perched on top signifies predatory powers seeking to exploit weaker states. In contrast, an allegorical figure holding a quill represents America's role in drafting this significant document. The early hand-drawn style adds authenticity and charm to this historical piece. The artist masterfully uses these symbols to depict political action taking place as various animals interact around a large scroll representing the treaty itself. This thought-provoking composition invites viewers to reflect on how decisions made at Versailles would shape global affairs for years to come. Overall, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of one of humanity's most important turning points - where nations came together in an attempt to prevent future conflicts through diplomacy and cooperation under the umbrella organization known as The League of Nations.
