EDITORS COMMENTS

With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this illustration offers a humorous take on diplomacy and politics. The rooster stands proudly atop an embassy building, adorned with a ring representing alliances within Europe. As an allegorical figure, it represents not only France but also the European Union as a whole. The artist's clever use of satire highlights historical events while infusing humor into his work. Through this piece, he comments on the delicate balance of power and negotiations between countries during early twentieth-century Europe. The image captures both the essence of history and the spirit of diplomacy through its portrayal of animals in human roles.
