Title
The Zeppelin Bag
Description
A cartoon of a man, the Kaiser?, inspecting some victims of a German Zeppelin raid on 5-6 March 1916.

"Inquests were held in a Yorkshire town yesterday on the bodies of several persons who were killed by the air raiders on Sunday night. In each case the jury found that death was due to injuries caused by the explosion of a bomb, or bombs, discharged by a German airship."

"M. Raemaekers undoubtedly, in inventing this cartoon, had in mind the pictures of byegone [sic] years wherein the Kaiser posed in hunter's costume inspecting the victims of a battue [sic] at one of his many hunting boxes."
