EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative cartoon, titled "The Hands with Right on their Side," was created in 1916 during the height of World War I. The image depicts two large, green and orange-gloved hands representing the Allied forces of France, Belgium, Italy, Russia, Japan, Serbia, and Montenegro, towering over the smaller, black-gloved hands of the Central Powers - Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria - who are huddled together in fear and trepidation in the middle. The caption above the illustration reads, "We'll get them, we'll get them." This striking image serves as a visual representation of the confidence and determination of the Allied forces during this pivotal moment in world history. The hands, with their strong and resolute posture, convey a sense of unwavering resolve and unyielding strength. In contrast, the small, cowering figures of the Central Powers exude fear and vulnerability. The cartoon was published during a time when the outcome of the war was still uncertain, and the Allied forces were facing significant challenges on multiple fronts. Yet, despite these challenges, the image conveys a sense of optimism and hope, reflecting the belief that the Allied forces would ultimately emerge victorious. The use of bold colors and dynamic composition adds to the impact of the image, making it a powerful and enduring symbol of the conflict. Today, it remains an important historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the mindset of the people during one of the most significant events in human history.
