title
image: An ethereal representation of Italia, stands astride a reptilian Emperor Franz Josef of Austria-Hungary in the
centre of the image. Franz Josef holds a bloody dagger marked Galizia in his left hand, while in his right he holds a hangman's noose, the
knotted end of his umbilical cord. Three of his talons hold the annexed Italian provinces of Trento, Trieste and Zara. To the left, in the
background, bathed in a nimbus of light, an Italian battleship steams directly towards the viewer.
