This pointed satire from L'Assiette au Beurre, the legendary French anarchist weekly, skewers German militarism with characteristic wit. A sweating soldier in Prussian uniform executes an exaggerated goose-step while clutching his spiked Pickelhaube, the bilingual caption revealing his inner contradiction: he despises military service but consoles himself that at least he will learn to march properly before the Reichstag.
L'Assiette au Beurre (1901-1912) was the sharpest blade in Belle Époque satirical publishing, recruiting Europe's finest illustrators to expose the hypocrisies of militarism, clericalism, and bourgeois society. Each issue devoted itself to a single theme, often scandalizing polite society with its unflinching social criticism.
A compelling example of pre-WWI European political graphics, this piece captures the tensions that would soon engulf the continent. The ironic title, 'Their Schools of Socialism,' suggests that compulsory military service was the only 'socialist' institution the German state truly embraced.
