1915 Caricature of two leaders in WWI, dramatized in La Fontaine's OF. Ludovic Rezier. Back cover of "Pays de France," January 14, 1915. €12 from journauxanciens through Ebay, Feb.,' 23.
Some study has not helped me to identify these figures or even what happens between the final two. The pattern follows La Fontaine's OF, but I am unsure how. A military leader looks at Napoleon and -- following the fable -- thinks he is bigger. Soon enough an opponent is inflating him. Is it the left or the right figure that explodes in "colossal" fashion, blown up by Pan-Germanism's pump? - Source
