Frenzylogical chart
World War I cartoon drawing is a phrenological chart of for the German brain.
​
Herford represents
Humanity with the sinking of the Lusitania,
Veneration by an image of a burning church,
Love of nature by a soldier chopping down a tree,
Modesty with the motto "Ich und Gott,"
Imagination with the German eagle standing on top of a globe with the motto
"Deutschland uber alles,"
Generosity with a German soldier poisoning a Dutch girl with tainted candy,
Compassion with the destruction of Red Cross wagons and the death of nurses,
Sympathy with an crocodile shedding tears for France,
Chivalry with a firing squad aiming its rifles at a nurse,
Integrity with the shredding of a treaty, and finally
Love of children with a soldier holding up his bayonet onto which he has speared an infant.
