| Description | If England Were German - a Day at Lord's |
| Details |
A light-hearted, humorous but also quite prescient look at what England might be like if German. A scowl from a soldier with a bayonet reminds a spectator that cheering during a match is forbidden at Lord's cricket ground. The cartoon reinforces stereotypes of the increasingly militarised German nation leading up to the outbreak of World War I.
