The Lamb from the Slaughter, 1919 - A Satirical Depiction of Post-WWI Diplomacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a thought-provoking artwork by Clifford K. Berryman titled "The Lamb from the Slaughter". Created in 1919, this ink over graphite drawing captures the essence of post-World War I diplomacy and political tensions. At that time, President Woodrow Wilson proposed his visionary plan for peace in Europe, which included the formation of a League of Nations. However, opposition arose as Henry Cabot Lodge and other Republicans objected to its terms and called for amendments. Eventually, Congress voted against joining the League of Nations altogether. Berryman's cartoonish depiction brilliantly satirizes these events. The lamb symbolizes America's innocence and naivety as it is led towards slaughter by European diplomats representing various ideologies and nations involved in World War I. This ironic portrayal highlights America's isolationist stance amidst international turmoil. Through his artistry, Berryman conveys a powerful message about politics and world peace during this crucial period in history. His caricature serves as a reminder that even well-intentioned efforts can lead to unexpected consequences when navigating complex diplomatic landscapes. "The Lamb from the Slaughter" remains an enduring representation of America's role in shaping global affairs after World War I. It invites viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between national interests and international cooperation while contemplating how different choices could have altered history's course forever.
