Putting the Screw on
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a classic and humorous cartoon by British satirical artist Bruce Bairnsfather, published in The Bystander magazine in 1919 during the aftermath of World War I. This exclusive photograph captures the consternation in German official circles upon receiving the amended armistice terms for February 1919. The cartoon plays on the stereotypical view of Germans as waiters and their supposed fondness for sausages. The amended armistice terms, as depicted in the cartoon, include the demand for 1,000 egg spoons, 50 cruets, and 6 sausage separators. These seemingly absurd demands were, of course, intolerable to the Germans. Bairnsfather's skit cleverly pokes fun at the situation, highlighting the frustration and absurdity of the peace negotiations. The cartoon reflects the mood of the time, as the world adjusted to the aftermath of the Great War. The use of humor in the face of such a devastating conflict was a way for people to cope with the challenges and uncertainties of the post-war world. Bairnsfather's "Putting the Screw on" is a testament to the power of satire and the enduring relevance of humor in addressing complex and often contentious issues. The cartoon remains a valuable historical document, providing insight into the attitudes and perspectives of the time. This photograph is an exclusive image from Mary Evans Prints Online, and it is important to note that it should not be used for commercial purposes without proper licensing and attribution to Mary Evans Picture Library and the artist, Bruce Bairnsfather.
