The journey to the moon according to Jules Verne
Willy Sluiter (mentioned on object), 1916-08-19
During the endless bombardments, the German artillery introduced increasingly heavier cannons. This howitzer, which had the nickname Big Bertha, became particularly famous. In this caricature, the German emperor and empress, along with their general staff, are escaping the war and going to the moon. From the bullet-shaped spacecraft from the science fiction story From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, they are looking down at the earth, laughing.
