EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful cartoon from the First World War era. Titled "German peace: the great peace bazaar" it depicts Wilhelm II, also known as William II, offering significant discounts for various items in his store. The manager of this unique establishment is none other than Wilhelm himself, who was the German Emperor during that time. In this satirical artwork by Abel Faivre, created for the cover of Le Rire Rouge on November 2,1918, we see Wilhelm promoting used land and settlements at reduced prices. Additionally, he advertises a hostage sale and even promotes Russian freedom and the League of Nations. The cartoon serves as a commentary on Germany's attempts to negotiate peace towards the end of World War I. It portrays Wilhelm as an opportunistic salesman trying to salvage what he can from a devastating conflict that had ravaged Europe for four long years. Abel Faivre's skillful drawing brings out both humor and irony in this piece. Through clever imagery and symbolism, he highlights how Germany sought to manipulate its position in post-war negotiations while attempting to present itself as an advocate for peace. This remarkable print not only provides insight into historical events but also showcases Faivre's artistic talent in capturing complex political themes through satire.
