ABSTRACT
The British cartoon, The reckoning, is from Punch a journal which, while satirical, was addressed to an educated, and presumably responsible, readership. The French cartoon, Easter 1919, shows Clemenceau offering an Easter egg to Marianne, who contemptuously refuses it. The British cartoon implies that Germany was getting off lightly, and protesting unreasonably; while the German cartoon is indicative of the resentment felt over the matter. The German cartoon, Fiume, or the Latin sisters, shows Italy and France fighting furiously over the Fiume question. The caption is to the effect that a small difference of opinion has arisen about a matter of inheritance. Peace and future cannon fodder cartoon, surely one of the most prescient ever drawn, appeared in the Labour Daily Herald in May 1919. Allied peace terms had been presented to the German delegates, but had not yet been accepted, when it appeared.
