Description: | obverse design : the allied powers of the Triple Entente represented by three caricatured animals, from left to right, the
Gallic cock, emaciated and almost featherless, standing facing right, the Russian bear, sitting on its haunches licking its bandaged paws
and the British bulldog, its head, left eye and left leg bandaged, sitting facing
exergue : "Drei Verband"
In this patriotic and gently humorous 1914 work, Lindl pokes fun at Germany's enemies. France Russia and Britain,
comprising the Triple Entente, are depicted as ridiculous and war-battered distortions of their national animal personifications. The
exergue text is translated as 'The Triple Alliance'. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | First World War & Alliance satirical humorous Allied Powers & 1914 | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Lindl, Hans | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
