Question

Identify the cartoon including the title and date.

Answer 1

The title of this cartoon is (original caption) - En Chine .. Le gateau des Rois et ..des emperors. (China, the cake of kings and of emperors)

The cartoon is a French political cartoon from 1898. China in French is " Chine".  Activity taking place : A pastry represents China and is being divided between caricatures. It is meant to be a figurative representation of the Imperialist tendencies of these nations towards China. 

Distortions or exaggerations ?
Groups of people represented, and body language : Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, William II of Germany (who is squabbling with Queen Victoria over a borderland piece, while thrusting a knife into a pie to signify aggressive German intentions), Nicholas II of Russia (who is eyeing a particular piece), the French Marianne (who is diplomatically shown as not participating in the carving, and as depicted as close to Nicholas II, as a reminder of the Franco - Russian alliance), and the Meiji Emperor of Japan (carefully contemplating which piece to take). A stereotypical Qing official throws up his hands to try and stop them but is powerless.
