EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "CARTOON: WWI GERMANY, 1917. What we're going to do to those neutrals will break our tender hearts. Cartoon by William A. Rogers, January 1917" could be: This thought-provoking cartoon by William A. Rogers captures the sentiment of Germany during World War I in 1917. The image depicts a German caricature with a bandana and beard, representing Kaiser Wilhelm II, sewing together a flag adorned with crossbones and skulls on a pirate ship's deck. The cartoon conveys Germany's frustration towards neutral countries that chose not to take sides in the war. The caption humorously suggests that Germany has sinister plans for these neutrals, but their actions would deeply affect their own compassionate nature. Rogers' artistic style effectively portrays the tension and aggression prevalent during this early stage of the war. His use of symbols such as crossbones and skulls emphasizes the grim consequences faced by those who dared oppose or remain impartial amidst the conflict. This historical artifact serves as an important reminder of how propaganda was used to rally support for pro-war sentiments at that time. It also highlights how cartoons were employed as powerful tools to shape public opinion.
