Description

“The Second European Cuisine Menu”. The cartoon encompasses an overfed Russian face with citizens pouring out of the mouth. From left to right: Austria, England, Germany (Weiner), Strasburg, and France (Wine Bottle). In the back is an Eagle with an American flag flying from its beak. I presume this has something to do with the gluttonous desire to split up Europe at the end of the war. An unusual and sarcastic cartoon. Near mint on Linen.
