Satirical cartoon of Kaiser Wilhelm II, WW1
The Little Tin God, satirical cartoon of Kaiser Wilhelm II at the start of the First World War. He is shown with six arms, like a Hindu god, holding various weapons in his hands, and sits with a Holy Bible open on his lap. The unlikely word, Peace, appears on a banner over his head. On the plinth are the words: Gott Mit Uns? Ich BIN Gott (God with us? I AM God), and on another banner below: The sword has been thrust into my hand
