In the event of a German invasion
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical illustration that transports us back to the early 20th century. Created by Georges d'Ostoya, this colour lithograph was originally published in Le Rire magazine on September 9,1905. The image humorously depicts the anticipation and preparation for a potential German invasion. The cartoon-like drawing showcases British soldiers standing guard along the coast of France, armed with their rifles and binoculars. With exaggerated features and comical expressions, it playfully mocks both military preparedness and international tensions at the time. This artwork not only serves as a source of amusement but also offers social commentary on European politics during that era. It reflects the fears surrounding Germany's growing power and highlights France's determination to defend itself against any possible aggression. Through its clever satire, "In the event of a German invasion" captures an important moment in history while providing insight into French-British relations at that time. This piece reminds us of how art can be used as a tool for political commentary, offering both entertainment value and critical analysis. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this print continues to serve as a reminder of our shared history and the enduring power of artistic expression.
