Figuring it out by Udo Keppler
Figuring it out by Udo Keppler 1872-1956, artist published, 1903. Illustration shows a classroom scene with the rulers of several countries as the students, most are identified by country and showing the attributes of their leaders, such as, in the back row, "Russia" (Nicholas II), "Germany" (William II), and England (John Bull), and in the front row, "Austria" (Franz Joseph I), "France" (Emile Loubet), Uncle Sam, Japan (Meiji, Emperor of Japan), and Italy (Victor Emmanuel III), and on the far left, sitting on a stool, is "Turkey" wearing a "Dunce" cap. The teacher labeled "Diplomacy", at the front of the room, points to a blackboard on which is written "If the Boer War cost Great Britain $825,000,000 what would a world's war cost?" While most of the leaders ponder this question, Russia and Japan glare at each other
