EDITORS COMMENTS
In the midst of the tumultuous First World War, a comedic scenerio unfolds as we witness the uneasy alliance between the Central Powers: Austria and Turkey, depicted in this satirical print from 1915. The German Kaiser, portrayed as an Ancient Roman in a grand chariot, takes center stage, asserting his dominance over his 'horses of war,' Austria and Turkey. The Austrian and Turkish leaders are shown as mere puppets, with Austria represented as a nervous Austrian soldier in uniform, complete with helmet and dog, while Turkey is illustrated as a turbaned Ottoman Sultan, holding a whip and a fez. The Kaiser, with a smug expression, cracks the reins, driving his chariot forward, as the two allies look on with restive expressions. In the background, a Zeppelin floats ominously, a reminder of the looming threat of German military might. This humorous yet poignant illustration offers a glimpse into the complex political dynamics of the Central Powers during WWI.
