(Below) A woodcut by Hans Se- 
bald Beham (1500-1550) depicts 
an exodus of non-combatants 
from a war district. It has al¬ 
most a modern meaning 
(Below) “The French In¬ 
vade Us,” an English car¬ 
toon by James Gillray, 
who is generally regarded 
as the most eminent of 
English caricaturists 
A Nuremberg woodcut car¬ 
toon of 1592 shows the 
artillery used in those days, 
an interesting contrast with 
the modern battery 
(Right) “The British on 
Spionkop,” a Boer War 
cartoon by Caran d’Ache, 
the French artist, who died 
but a short while ago 
(Center above) A print by 
Nicholas Touissant Charlet, 
the noted French lithographer 
Military costumes of the 15 th 
Century shown in a copper¬ 
plate engraving by Diirer 
(Below) A symbolic Napoleon 
cartoon by Thomas Rowlandson, 
a celebrated English designer and 
etcher ( 1756-1877), published in 
London 1815. <4s a caricaturist 
Rowlandson ranks with Gillray 
Such old war prints as this 
Nuremberg example are 
to be found in reproduc-

possibilities are obvious 
(Below) In the time of 
Louis XV French artists,

(Left) “Bravo, Belgiuml” 
an anti-Hun cartoon by F. 
H. Townsend in Punch. 
Townsend’s work is well 
known on this side 
(Below) “The People’s War,” an 
etching by Alphonse Legros, a 
noted French etcher. Published 
in Paris in 1900, it is almost a 
prophecy of some of the things 
which are coming to pass today 
Framed in long panels, such 
prints as Beham's below and the 
Nuremberg print above would 
make interesting spots of relief on 
the library wall
