Satisfying their curiosity
John Bull sits on a strong fortress representing England, with a telescope in one hand and strings attached to battleships in the other. On the edge of the continent are four figures representing “Germany” (William II), “Austria” (Franz Joseph I), “Italy” (Umberto I) and “France” (Felix Faure) wondering what John Bull is doing. In the background, a battle rages between the United States and Spain around the island of Cuba. Caption: The Continental Powers–What are you doing there? / John Bull–Oh! nothing, nothing at all; – just looking on!
