EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures a powerful moment in history, as a Coldstream guard kicks a goal against the Kaiser. Created by Frederick George Lewin during World War I, this cartoon propaganda postcard serves as both entertainment and satire. The image depicts an exaggerated caricature of Kaiser Wilhelm II, emphasizing his pompous demeanor and arrogance. The Coldstream guard, representing the British military, is shown confidently kicking a football towards the goalpost adorned with flags. This satirical drawing symbolizes not only victory on the football field but also triumph over Germany's leader. The scathing satire present in this artwork reflects the sentiment of many during that time period. Lewin's skillful use of colors adds depth to this piece, making it visually striking and engaging. The bold reds and blues of the flags contrast with the neutral tones used for both characters, further highlighting their roles within this narrative. As a historical artifact from WWI, this print offers insight into how art was utilized for propaganda purposes during times of conflict. It serves as a reminder of how humor can be employed to convey political messages while entertaining audiences simultaneously. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this lithograph continues to captivate viewers with its clever composition and biting commentary on one of history's most significant conflicts.
