This drawing illustrates the power dynamics between France and Germany following World War I. Two German gentlemen bow and plead to a massive frog (a derogatory term for the French) that holds a bloody sword in its mouth. The figure on the left promises a written guarantee of good payment and the kneeling figure to his right begs for assistance in fighting the Communists.
