Le Mot Juste: WWI cartoon by H. M. Bateman
" Le Mot Juste: A careful and economical person. Much given to niceness of expression. Trying to decide upon which adjective to risk his brown." This cartoon satirises how the British press are using ever more sensationalist language to describe the battles going on in Europe, with the man in the picture trying to decide which newspaper to buy as the only fundamental difference between them is the choice of adjective with which they describe the battle. Date: 1914
