Verso "Indien" und "Franz-Afrika" zwei originale Lithographien von August Gaul (1869 in Hanau - 1921 in Berlin) im Stein signiert und betitelt [Im August 1914 begann der Paul Cassirer Verlag mit der Herausgabe der "Kriegszeit", einer wöchentlichen, vierseitigen Publikation mit künstlerische Reaktionen auf den Ersten Weltkrieg. Die meisten der im Magazin vertretenen Künstler gehörten der Berliner Secession an. In August 1914, Paul Cassirer Verlag began publishing Kriegszeit, a weekly, four-page broadsheet of artistic responses to World War I. Most of the featured artists were represented by Cassirer and were also affiliated with the Berlin Secession, the progressive exhibiting society that had frequently clashed with imperial art policies. Nevertheless, even these Kriegszeit contributors greeted the war with enthusiasm, and had confidence in the military under Wilhelm II and faith in the righteousness of the German cause. Max Liebermann captured the feelings of unity on his cover for the first issue, depicting a mass surging in support of the Emperor's declaration of war. Ultimately, fifty-one artists contributed 265 lithographs, including portraits of military leaders, scenes of military victories, sanitized images of daily life as a soldier, and caricatures of the enemy. All proceeds benefited an organization supporting destitute artists.].
