Title

"L'Europe et le Maitre d'École."

Description

1922 "L'Europe et le Maitre d'École." Uncle Sam as the Pedant lectures the drowning child that is Europe, quoting La Fontaine. Front cover. Le Cri de Paris No. 1305, April 2, 1922. 8¼" x 11¾". €10 at Clignancourt, July, '19.

I take it that Uncle Sam is scolding Europe: "See where this stupidity has led. Take care to avoid such companions." I am unsure only about the reference here to companions. Are the nations of Europe to withdraw from Europe? And is this Uncle Sam Woodrow Wilson?
