Kaiser Mascot Mascotte Nouvelle Print Pulling Regiment Tommy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of introduction between a British Tommy and the new regimental mascot during the tumultuous period of World War I. The image, titled "La nouvelle mascotte du règiment. The new Regiments Pet. A British Tommy pulling the Regiments new mascot (the Kaiser). Nik," was taken by an unknown photographer and is now available as a print from Mary Evans Prints Online. The 1st Great War, also known as World War I, brought about significant changes to military regiments, and the adoption of new mascots was one such transformation. In this photograph, we see a British soldier, dressed in full uniform, with a determined look on his face as he pulls on the leash of a peculiar-looking mascot. The mascot, referred to as "the Kaiser," is a large, grotesque figure with exaggerated features reminiscent of the German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II. The use of the Kaiser as a regimental mascot was a bold and provocative move, reflecting the intense animosity towards Germany during the war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the wartime spirit and the unique ways in which regiments sought to boost morale and forge a sense of camaraderie among their ranks. The print, which measures approximately 11 x 8 inches, is a valuable addition to any military history or World War I collection. Its historical significance and intriguing subject matter make it a fascinating conversation piece and a captivating glimpse into the past.
