image: The Cathedral at Rheims in flames after German bombardment. A figure of Christ emerges from the flames. In front
of the Cathedral stands Joan of Arc, in full armour, with banner and sword. Her sword has pierced an eagle, representing Germany. Beside
the eagle Kaiser Wilhelm kneels in chains, his crown, orb and sceptre lying on the ground in the eagle's blood. A sign reads 'Guillaume,
Roi des Vandales, Apostat, Iconoclaste. Louvain, Malines, Termonde, Senlis, Reims'. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory emblems Wilhelm II civilian morale Religion christ Joan of Arc Architecture looting / destruction propaganda Kaiser of Germany Atrocities and War Crimes | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Robert, André | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
