Propaganda Poster: Printed in London in 1914, strongly meant to show Britain (and its Navy) in a good light, while illustrating Germany & Austria as aggressors. Also could be described as a Serio-Comic Map, which is meant to display serious ideas in a playful manor. Very strong political stances are taken by this map maker, declaring controversial opinions on the entirety of Europe at the time.
