World War I propaganda poster. French Allies have

The French Allies Have a Cart Filled with Captured Germans, circa 1914. This World War I propaganda poster, designed by the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich (1878-1935) in collaboration with fellow artist Vladimir Mayakovsky, depicts French and British soldiers carrying off captured German soldiers in a cart and a tub. The rhyming couplets at the bottom by Mayakovsky read: The French Allies have a cart filled with captured Germans, and our British brothers have a whole tub of them. The image in this poster, for example, of soldiers being harvested would have been understandable to common Russians, peasants in particular
