EDITORS COMMENTS
This cartoon, titled "The Bulgarian Cad," dates back to 1915 during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image portrays a caricatured King Ferdinand I of Bulgaria, known for his prominent and distinctive long nose, which has been exaggerated to comedic effect in this illustration. The monarch is shown admiring his reflection in a hand mirror, surrounded by the trappings of royalty - a red, shiny uniform adorned with medals, and a military cap atop his head. The title "Cad" is used with a double meaning in this context, as it refers both to the derogatory term for a man of questionable moral character and to the military term for the sharp, pointed end of a bayonet. This pun adds an extra layer of satire to the cartoon, implying that King Ferdinand's egotism and self-absorption may be as sharp and dangerous as a bayonet. King Ferdinand's involvement in the Central Powers during WWI positioned Bulgaria as a significant player in the conflict, and this cartoon serves as a commentary on the egotistical nature of some of the European leaders at the time. The image is a poignant reminder of the complexities and contradictions of the historical narrative during the First Great War.
