| Summary | "Cartoons on the War" by Boardman Robinson is a collection of political cartoons created during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The book encapsulates the emotions and sentiments of the public in reaction to the war through visual art, primarily reflecting the belief that Germany bears significant responsibility for the conflict. Robinson's cartoons were mostly published in newspapers, showcasing the immediate and evolving nature of wartime journalism. The content of the collection consists of various illustrations that comment on different aspects of World War I, portraying themes of grief, patriotism, and the absurdity of war. Each cartoon addresses specific events and sentiments, such as the struggle of soldiers, the impact on families, and geopolitical issues, often infused with satire and social critique. Through these images, Robinson provides a poignant and reflective lens on the emotional landscape of a society grappling with the chaos and brutality of war, making it a significant artistic representation of that tumultuous period.
