Anti-German War Cartoons
Follow the lightning-quick hand of the artist behind a series of comic cartoon sketches poking fun at the enemy during WWI.
Trick film 1915 5 mins Silent
Overview
Many editorial cartoons during WWI were painstakingly brought to life with both full animation and 'lightning sketches', as seen here. This unidentified example reveals the hand of a gifted artist, speeded up to showcase the draughtsmanship behind a number of common propaganda gags about Kaiser Wilhelm II, his allies and his troops.
