Easter in the Old World Barnyard, from Puck 1895

"Easter in the Old World Barnyard" (1895) is a political cartoon by Joseph Keppler, depicting European powers as chickens in a barnyard. The image satirizes the political climate of the time, specifically the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), which is referenced by the cracked eggshells labeled "Chinese" and "Japanese." The cartoon's use of anthropomorphic animals and exaggerated features underscores Keppler's humorous critique of European imperialism and international relations in the late 19th century.
