An allegory about the peace negotiations at end of WW1
A rather biased allegorical illustration by Fortunino Matania showing Justice, with her foot on the prostrate giant of Germany, holding her sword in one hand and scales in another, weight the helmet and sword of Germany. Beside her are women, children and the elderly who have suffered through the actions of Germany. A mine and sinking ship is shown behind her, a reminder of the U-boat campaign and the loss of civilians including women and children at sea. Beside her, a woman calls for vengeance above the body of her dead child and another woman and old man point avenging fingers at the fallen figure of Germany. Date: 1919
