Description

Propaganda print depicting a sailor dragging a Reichsadler, the German 'Imperial eagle' inside of a golden birdcage behind him. The sailor is smoking a pipe, and appears to be carrying a bag with his right hand. Above the sailor is a banner that reads, 'When jack comes home again'. The artist is unknown, however a monogram with the letter 'W' appears inside a square on the lower centre of the image.
