The "Land & Water" edition of Raemaekers' cartoons, volume 1

A collection of forceful wartime cartoons and accompanying editorial material that confronts militarism and records the brutal consequences of the Great War. The images pair stark, often religiously inflected symbolism with biting satire to portray atrocities, refugees, prisoners, naval and aerial warfare, propaganda, and political hypocrisy; captions and introductory essays present the artist as a moral witness. Arranged as topical plates, the drawings mix direct visual accusation and allegory to stir public sentiment, chronicle civilian suffering, and expose diplomatic and military tensions.
