Summary "Raemaekers' Cartoon History of the War, Volume 1" by Raemaekers and Allison is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the period of World War I. The book serves as a compilation of cartoons that depict the atrocities committed during the war, particularly focusing on the German invasion of Belgium. Through sharp and poignant illustrations, it addresses the harsh realities of war and the plight of the affected civilians. The content of the book revolves around a collection of Louis Raemaekers' powerful cartoons, which served as a form of protest against the brutality of war and an impassioned appeal for justice and human rights. Each illustration is accompanied by contextual text that highlights real events and testimonials regarding the horrors faced by the Belgian population during the German occupation. The cartoons range from depicting civilian suffering, atrocities committed by German troops, to pleas for solidarity against tyranny. Through his artwork, Raemaekers not only captured the emotional gravity of the conflict but also galvanized public opinion in favor of those fighting against oppression and for freedom.
