McKee Barclay's Personification of Poisonous Gas
Reacting to the illegal use of poisonous gas as a weapon, Baltimore cartoonist Barclay McKee drew this ghastly image of Mars, the god of war, as a skeleton wearing a pith helmet and breathing deadly vapor from a trench. Barclay worked as an editorial cartoonist for the Baltimore Sun from 1908 to 1920. |
