First Come, First Served - A Taste of International Diplomacy at a Chinese Restaurant, 1903
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing illustration, published in Puck magazine on May 13, 1903, captures a moment of unexpected camaraderie amidst the competitive world of international diplomacy. The scene takes place in a bustling Chinese restaurant, where a Chinese man, wearing a traditional hat and holding a fan, stands near the door, addressing the esteemed European guests Emile Loubet of France and Wilhelm II of Germany. The French and German monarchs, both dressed in formal attire, are seen waiting patiently outside the restaurant, their expressions a mix of curiosity and anticipation. The Chinese man, with a knowing smile, explains the restaurant's policy: "First come, first served." Inside the restaurant, a man labeled "Russia" is seen enjoying a hearty bowl of food, labeled "Manchuria." The Russian's satisfied grin and empty bowl suggest that he has been served before the European visitors. The illustration's caption, "First Come, First Served," underscores the message that even in the context of international power dynamics, the simple rule of etiquette and fairness still applies. This cartoon, published during a period of heightened tensions between European powers and China, offers a humorous take on the complexities of international diplomacy. It also highlights the universal appeal of good food and the importance of following established rules, regardless of one's status or nationality. This illustration is an intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a lighthearted yet insightful perspective on diplomacy and the human experience.
