Description: | B. Créte
image: a map of Europe in 1914 that uses national symbols and stereotypes to mark the territory of individual countries.
Great Britain is represented by ships, symbolising her naval power. A demonic German bull charges at the French cockerel and Marianne,
whilst also being poked in the hind quarters by a cane brandished by Tsar Nicholas II of Russia. Austria-Hungary is represented by a fallen
crown and a series of graves, suggesting the impeding end of that empire. The other nations of Europe are marked in similar
ways.
