An allegory about the peace negotiations at end of WW1
A rather biased allegorical illustration by Fortunino Matania showing Justice, with her foot on the prostrate giant of Germany, holding her sword in one hand and scales in another, weight the helmet and sword of Germany. Beside her are women, children and the elderly who have suffered through the actions of Germany. A mine and sinking ship is shown behind her, a reminder of the U-boat campaign and the loss of civilians including women and children at sea. Beside her, a woman calls for vengeance above the body of her dead child and another woman and old man point avenging fingers at the fallen figure of Germany. Date: 1919

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking image captures the sentiment of the peace negotiations at the end of World War I. Created by Fortunino Matania in 1919, this allegorical illustration depicts Justice standing triumphantly over the prostrate figure of Germany, symbolizing the consequences of their actions during the war.
With her foot on Germany's back, Justice holds a sword in one hand and scales in another, weighing their helmet and sword. Surrounding her are women, children, and elderly individuals who have suffered greatly as a result of Germany's actions. A mine and sinking ship loom in the background as a stark reminder of the civilian casualties caused by Germany's U-boat campaign.
The emotions portrayed in this image are raw and intense - a woman mourns over her dead child while others point accusing fingers at Germany. The symbolism is clear: there is a call for vengeance against those responsible for such devastation.
As we reflect on this historical moment through Matania's biased yet poignant depiction, we are reminded of the complexities and repercussions of war. This print serves as a visual representation of justice seeking to right the wrongs committed during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
