Poster Impressionism, First World War humour
Silhouette cartoon showing a mother watching her small daughter read a newspaper poster and rather misconstrue its meaning. The Globe newspaper carries news of a special war edition reporting the death of 10, 000 Germans, killed in Champagne. The little girl asks, "Were they ALL drowned, Mummie?"
