Abstract

en_US Ten cents the copy! With a trade discount to dealers! Great propaganda. Full-page black-and-white line drawings on the left-hand pages of this sideways oblong pamphlet, including an excellent illustration of the frog bursting according to the traditional fable on 5. Most right-hand pages have parallel columns of English and German. The propagandistic positioning of the animals is enjoyable, but not calculated to soothe egos, as when the monkey of Japan comes riding the elephant of India. The Prussian eagle throws the monkey into the sea and tweaks the trunk of the elephant. The poor Prussian eagle is ganged up on by all the lackeys of the straw-stuffed British lion, including the hare of Belgium. Of course the French are a proud frog and the Russians a stupid bear. The back cover repeats the matter of the front cover in German. I wondered while auctioning if I was paying too much, but I am delighted now that I read through the pamphlet.
