THE 2nd YEAR of the war opened in the West with the enemy pinned down to a defensive line from Belfort to the sea. The new armies of the British Empire were still being raised and trained, and neither England nor France had reached their zenith in guns and munitions production. In the East the great Teutonic drive through Poland was still in progress with Warsaw occupied in August. By October Germany's greatest military effort so far had failed and the Russian armies stood intact from the Bukovina to Riga. The next development in the history of the war was the entry of Bulgaria into WWI. The western allies had taken the offensive in September, the French attacking in Champagne and the British in Flanders. January saw Gallipoli evacuated by the Allies, releasing Turkish troops for service in Mesopotamia (Iraq.) Late in February the great German offensive began at Verdun, which was to prove the most costly defeat of the German arms during the war. The Battle of Verdun continued for months and was definitely lost by the Germans by the 1st of July. The Russian armies in the Caucasus and Armenia had beaten the Turks in many engagements. The Russian armies in the north, reorganized and, in June, thoroughly re-equipped, began their advance along their line from Riga to the Carpathians. Raemaekers captured all of the above in this 2nd volume as well. The cold blooded murders of Nurse Cavell and Captain Fryatt did not escape Raemaekers' attention, neither did the many examples of German Zeppelin Ruthlessness and German Piracy on the sea. Notable amongst the latter is the Sussex crime and its subsequent diplomatic developments, which were to play an important part in America's entry into the war.

Herein are 107 more satirical cartoons from the master Louis Raemaeker which end off the second year of WWI. With so may atrocities committed by both sides, Raemakers was not short of material. One hundred years before WWI, Napoleon is reported to have said that the English caricaturist James Gillray "did more than all the armies in Europe to bring me down.” Likewise, during World War I, no cartoonist exercised more influence than Louis Raemaekers of Holland. Charged with "endangering Dutch neutrality," he fled to England. His satirical newspaper cartoons led the German Government to offer a 12,000 guilder (±US250,000 in 2014) reward for his capture, dead or alive. A German newspaper, summarizing the terms of peace Germany would exact after it won the war, declared that “Indemnity would be demanded for every one of Raemaekers' cartoons.” Raemaekers cartoons were also instrumental in fighting against deeply entrenched American isolationism. When, in 1917, the United States entered the war, Raemaekers embarked on a lecture tour of the USA and Canada, rallying the new allies for support and arguing the case for mobilisation against the German Empire. The Christian Science Monitor commented “From the outset his works revealed something more than the humorous or ironical power of the caricaturist; they showed that behind the mere pictorial comment on the war was a man who thought and wrought with deep and uncompromising conviction as to right and wrong.” All too often art critics, art historians, aestheticians, and others have dismissed cartoons and caricatures as silly — not serious — trivial, and irrelevant. Yet, as you will see with the cartoons in this first volume, here are cartoons and caricatures that, in retrospect, possibly had more effect on the German High Command and German populace than possibly a new Allied offensive, giving weight to the adage “The Pen is Mightier than the Sword.” - if only pen and paper could have been used to greater effect in this, the Great War.

Excerpt from Raemaekers Cartoon History of the War, Vol. 2 In the East the great Teutonic drive through Poland was still in progress, although the Russian armies had everywhere es caped envelopment, and their retreat was nearly at an end. War saw was occupied by the Germans early in August. It was a moment chosen by Germany to make an offer of separate peace to Russia. The enemy sought to gain by bribery what his armies had failed to accomplish in the field. The offer was rejected by Russia. By October Germany's greatest military effort so far had failed and the Russian armies stood intact from the Bukovina to Riga.

Throughout history cartoons can have had a powerful psychological, emotional, and political impact. One hundred years before WWI, Napoleon is reported to have said that the English caricaturist James Gillray "did more than all the armies in Europe to bring me down." During World War I, no cartoonist exercised more influence than Louis Raemaekers of Holland. Charged with "endangering Dutch neutrality," his cartoons led the German Government to offer a 12,000 guilder reward for his capture, dead or alive. A German newspaper, summarizing the terms of peace Germany would exact after it won the war, declared that "Indemnity would be demanded for every one of Raemaekers' cartoons."

LOUIS RAEMAEKERS will stand out for all time as one of the supreme figures which the Great War called into being. His genius was enlisted in the service of mankind, and his work is entirely sincere and untouched by racial or national prejudice, will endure. When the intense passions, which have been awakened by this world struggle, have faded away, civilization will regard the war largely through these wonderful drawings. It was left to France to pay the most fitting recognition to his genius and to his services in the cause of freedom and truth. In 1916 the Cross of the Legion of Honour was presented to him, and a special reception was held in his honour at La Sorbonne. It has been well said that no man living amidst these surging seas of blood and tears has come nearer to the role of Peacemaker than Raemaekers. The peace which he works for is not a matter of arrangement between diplomatists and politicians; it is the peace which the intelligence and the soul of the Western world will insist on in the years to come. During the Inter-war period he lived in Brussels and campaigned in favour of the League of Nations. He also tried to alert public opinion to the danger of Nazism to world peace. On the outbreak of WWII he moved to the USA where he, as ever, remained active, bringing the atrocities of the WWII to the public's attention through his weekly cartoons in the New York Herald Tribune and the afternoon tabloid PM.

"I explored a hell, and it was terror unspeakable" Louis Raemaekers was a Dutch artist of the First World War. An early witness to Imperial German atrocities in occupied Belgium, his cartoons shed light on German policies of collective punishment, rapine, and murder before official government reports were published. Being from a neutral country, Raemaekers' artwork also offered a scathing review of Dutch foreign policy, and a mockery of German moral presumptions in her unrestricted submarine warfare against American shipping. First published in 1918, this book contains over one hundred of Raemaekers' cartoons, representing the best of his work during the first twelve months of the Great War. Compiled and edited by J. Murray Allison, the artwork is given context through the addition of language from official government reports, newspaper articles, eyewitness accounts, and direct quotes from German military and political leaders, among others. This republished version has been provided by The Native Oak, LLC with the aim of providing the highest quality reproduced cartoons currently available, while maintaining as much as possible of the book's original 'fabric'- such as spelling, grammar, and spacing.
