Exhibition Label: "Machine in a Void: World War I & the Graphic Arts," Mar-2010, Steve Goddard In France, the German Emperor, Kaiser Wilhelm II, received a large share of the blame for the outbreak of war. He was a popular target for wartime propaganda, appearing repeatedly in cartoons, lithographs for magazines, and even postcards.
