EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1914: A Canine Premonition of War - "Get Out and Get Under" This satirical cartoon, titled "Get Out and Get Under," published in August 1914, captures the uneasy tension building between Germany and Britain on the brink of World War I. The image features a worried German dachshund, huddled in a kennel, as a determined British bulldog approaches with a fleet of warships in the background. The title of the cartoon alludes to the common advice given to civilians during air raids, urging them to seek shelter, or "get under," to escape harm. The cartoon's satirical nature is evident in the exaggerated physical characteristics of the dogs, with the dachshund portrayed as fearful and the bulldog as bold and aggressive. The dogs' nationalities are further emphasized by the addition of helmets, symbolizing their respective military forces. The dachshund's frightened expression and cowering posture contrast sharply with the bulldog's confident approach, reflecting the growing sense of unease and impending conflict between the two nations. The presence of the warships in the background underscores the seriousness of the situation, as the naval powers of Britain and Germany were key players in the early stages of the war. This cartoon serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the events leading up to the First World War and the fear and uncertainty that gripped Europe during this time. This image is an excellent representation of the satirical commentary that emerged during the early stages of the war, highlighting the tensions and anxieties that permeated society as the world prepared for the devastating conflict that was to come.
