Supplement to Punch, or the London Charivari, September 16, 1914 The New Rake's Progress: Cartoons from "Punch" Illustrating the Kaiser's Career, 1888-1914

"Supplement to Punch, or the London Charivari, September 16, 1914" by Various is a compilation of comical pictures from the British magazine "Punch" made in the early 1900s. This book offers a look back at the political atmosphere and the growing power of Kaiser Wilhelm II between 1888 and 1914 using jokes and exaggerated drawings. Inside are probably comments on what led to World War I, plus ideas about famous people and government matters during that time. The book shows cartoons of the Kaiser's goals and problems in European politics, with funny remarks explaining how people saw the Kaiser. Main ideas include his efforts to stay in power, deal with friendships between countries, and affect other lands, which often points out the silliness of how he led. This book acts as a record from the past, using humor to judge the Kaiser and think about the international stress that caused the war.
