'A Letter from the German Trenches', 1916. Artist: Louis Raemaekers

'A Letter from the German Trenches', 1916. ''We have gained a good bit: our cemeteries now extend as far as the sea''. Plate 30 from The Great War: A Neutral's Indictment by Louis Raemaekers. The Dutch graphic artist Louis Raemaekers (1869-1956) produced fiercely anti-German cartoons during the First World War. The Germans offered a substantial reward for him, dead or alive, and the Dutch government, under pressure from Germany, placed Raemaekers on trial on a charge of endangering Dutch neutrality. He was acquitted, but fled to England because of the bounty on his head.
