| Summary | "The 'Land & Water' edition of Raemaekers' cartoons, volume 1" by Louis Raemaekers is a collection of political cartoons created during the First World War. Likely written in the early 20th century, it offers a critical perspective on the events and atrocities of the war, specifically addressing the brutal methods employed by the German military. Raemaekers' artwork is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its ability to capture the complexities and horrors of warfare, evoking emotional responses to the suffering caused by the conflict. The opening of this volume features an introduction by the editor of "Land and Water," which emphasizes the enduring importance of Raemaekers' work as a means of understanding the Great War. It details Raemaekers' journey as a cartoonist, describing his impact on public opinion, his recognition across Europe, and the threats he faced from German authorities. The editor argues that Raemaekers’ sincere and unbiased depictions of war will resonate with future generations, serving as both an artistic record and a moral indictment of the violence and suffering inflicted during this tumultuous time in history. The introduction sets the stage for the poignant and powerful cartoons that follow, which aim to shed light on the harsh realities of war and advocate for human dignity and justice.
