Lehmann-Dumont (Karl). Humoristische Karte von Europa im Jahre 1914, published Dresden, 1914, lithographic allegorical German propaganda map of Europe, three columns of descriptive text in German below image, old folds, 340 x 485 mm, together with: Holland (Frank). The Bulldog Line, 1916, uncoloured caricature originally published in 'John Bull Magazine' showing a British Bulldog biting down on the tail of a German Dachshund, slight creasing, 190 x 280 mm, German Propoganda Booklet. Plutokratie. England die geschichte eines raubstaates, circa 1940, eight transparent overlays on a world map, colour printed paper covers, overall size 145 x 210 mm (Qty: 3) The first described item is an allegorical poster showing a German perspective of alliances and territories within Europe; both pictorially and in descriptive text. Germany stretches into France and seizes its shoulder. Russia - with its huge open mouth - clutches a vodka bottle and the whip of revolution and looks ready to devour its neighbours. Italy remains tucked well down in its 'boot'. Great Britain stands on bags on money whilst the British Bulldog appears to be being strangled by the snake of India as Ireland attempts to cut the chain which links it to the mainland. An inset map of Japan which Great Britain appears to have 'caught' implies that we have dragged Japan into the war. Turkey looks the other way and is shown drowsily smoking a pipe. The map is crammed with numerous subtle references to national stereotypes and historical events.
