Original editorial cartoon on paper in pen, brush and ink, probably published in the Los Angeles Herald, c. 1915, shows the grim reaper viewing a WW1 battlefield in ‘France’ littered with soldiers of different nationalities, with a graveyard on the right. The comment on the upper margin sums up the cartoon: ‘Nations may win battles but the Grim Reaper will be the only victor when it is all done’. Reflects the prevailing anti-war sentiment in the United States at this time. Paper size 48 x 30.5 cm, image size 46 x 28 cm, signature appears to have been scratched away at lower right. Stamp to verso does not provide any more useful information. In good condition
