| Summary | "Raemaekers' Cartoons: With Accompanying Notes by Well-known English Writers" is a collection of political cartoons interspersed with critical commentary written during the early 20th century. The book showcases the work of Louis Raemaekers, a Dutch cartoonist known for his poignant depictions of the atrocities of World War I, while notable English writers provide accompanying notes that amplify the themes and messages contained within the illustrations. The focus of this volume is on the impact of the Great War, highlighting the dangers posed by the German military and the moral implications of their actions. The beginning of this collection introduces Louis Raemaekers and discusses his rise to prominence through his powerful cartoons published in the Amsterdam "Telegraaf". It outlines his reception in England, where he was honored for bringing awareness to the horrors of war, and discusses the backlash he faced from German authorities fearing the influence of his work. The opening portion presents an appreciation from England's Prime Minister H. H. Asquith and an introduction by Francis Stopford, setting the tone for a critical examination of the conflict. They highlight how Raemaekers' work embodies both a visual narrative of suffering and a rallying cry for justice against the German invasion, illustrating a significant moment in history through the lens of art and political commentary.
