Description: | André Hugeunin, Sculpteur, Paris, La Chaux-de-Fonds
image: a map of Europe, with images of heads of state or national stereotypes marking the territory of individual
countries. The composition is dominated by the profile of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. His lighted cigar tip touches the head of Emperor
Franz-Josef I of Austria-Hungary, who swallows King Peter of Serbia. Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany attempts to outstare a French officer and
a moustachioed Belgian, the Netherlands represented by a praying woman. The Italian boot turns down to reveal King Vittorio Emmanuele III.
Britain's King George V is drawn into the conflict by a large sea creature. All the while the neutral King Alfonso XIII of Spain looks on,
smiling bemusedly. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | emblems Military Personnel humorous Cartography First World War Royalty | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Huguenin, André | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
