Herr Michel ADC, to the Crown Prince on his return from the Promised Land
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a satirical illustration by Edmund J. Sullivan, published in 1916 during the tumultuous times of World War I. The image showcases a caricatured figure named Herr Michel ADC, who represents Prussian and German interests. The artwork is part of "The Kaisers Garland" a collection that aimed to provide political commentary through satire and humor. In this particular piece, Sullivan cleverly depicts Herr Michel as he returns from what is referred to as the "Promised Land". This phrase alludes to Germany's ambition for territorial expansion during the war. Sullivan's skillful use of caricature highlights exaggerated features and symbols associated with Prussia and Germany at that time. Through this lens, he critiques their actions by presenting them as looters or conquerors seeking spoils from their conquests. As an engraving created in the early 20th century, this artwork offers valuable insights into public sentiment surrounding World War I. It serves as a reminder of how art can be used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a powerful tool for social commentary and political critique. With its historical significance and artistic merit, this print provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect upon the impact of war on society while appreciating Sullivan's talent in capturing complex themes through visual storytelling.
