Summary

** "Cartoons on the War" by Boardman Robinson is a powerful compilation of political cartoons born from the era of World War I. The collection vividly captures the raw feelings and opinions of the public towards the war through striking visuals that suggest Germany held significant accountability for the global conflict. Originally featured in newspapers, Robinson's cartoons offer a snapshot of the era's wartime journalism and convey a range of emotions from sorrow and national pride to the sheer ridiculousness of war. Each carefully crafted illustration comments on the many facets of World War I, depicting the hardships of soldiers, the pain of families, and complex geopolitical tensions, often layered with sharp satire and critique of society. These images reflect the emotional state of a world wrestling with the frenzy and violent nature of war, marking the book as artistic expression of a turbulent time. **
