A POLISH CARTOONIST
XXVII.
M. d'Ostoya, the well-known Polish artist, has published in Paris, during the war, a very strong series of drawings, both in colour and in black. Of this series the two shown here are among the best-contrasted.
Says the Prussian Officer: "Who is it who commands here? You, a simple little Jew, or I—who have thirteen quarterings of nobility?"
Gott mit uns!
Qui est-ce qui commande ici, toi qui n'es qu'un
simple petit juif ou moi qui possède treize quartiers de noblesse?

A DINNER AT HEADQUARTERS.
"A pig's head was also served, ornamented with laurel-leaves—for in Germany it is customary to crown pigs with laurel."
Heinrich Heine, Germania.
Un diner au Quartier Général
... On servit aussi une tête de porc ornée de feuilles de
laurier, car en Allemagne on a l'habitude de couronner
de laurier le front des cochons
Henri Heine, Germania
