Caricature at War

Sorting through my hard drive filled with images I came upon a folder titled "Caricatures."  Below are the image contained in that folder. According to the online WWI Encyclopedia, the term “caricature”, is derived from the Old Italian word caricare which means “to exaggerate” and “to attack vehemently”. Thus the normal task of a caricaturist is to attack and to ridicule society and government, usually in an exaggerated or distorted way. Illustrative caricatures are usually more aggressive than [written] articles. The press and propaganda agencies of all the nations (including neutrals) deployed caricatures as an instrument of combat. However, not all the specimens presented here are derogatory toward their subject, and I hope you find some of them amusing. They are arrayed in rough chronological order.
