A Collection of Humorous and Satirical War Cartoons from the Pages of "The Passing Show." London: House of Odhams Ltd., 1916. Original illustrated wrappers, 240 x 300 mm. 32 pp., followed by advertisement to… lower wrapper. Wrappers worn at extremities with short tears and creasing to edges, some splitting and wear at spine, and chipping to the lower left corner of the rear wrapper. Internally complete and generally clean, without ownership inscriptions. Very Good for an inherently fragile wartime publication. A scarce Great War collection of anti-German cartoons originally published in The Passing Show, the London weekly magazine founded by Odhams in 1915. The volume opens with a foreword by its editor, W. Comyns Beaumont, dated 12 August 1916, followed by thirty pages of full-page cartoons ridiculing Kaiser Wilhelm II and the German war effort. The contributors include Edward Tennyson Reed (1860-1933), the celebrated Punch cartoonist responsible for "Prehistoric Peeps" and for many years the illustrator of Punch's "Essence of Parliament", together with Leo Cheney, Alfred Leete, Will Owen, George Whitelaw, G. E. Studdy and others. Subjects include German finance, compulsory service, the Battle of Jutland, British munitions production and the increasingly beleaguered figure of the Kaiser himself. The Passing Show was a weekly illustrated humour and fiction magazine published by Odhams from 1915. Under Beaumont's editorship its wartime cartoons formed part of the broader British satirical response to the First World War, using caricature and ridicule as weapons against Germany and Kaiser Wilhelm II. Scarce. COPAC records only six institutional copies, with none in commerce.
