Description | Cartoon shows the Emperor Napoleon as a statue atop a column kneeling down to look at cheering crowds shouting "Vive Wilson" below. When President Wilson arrived in Paris in December 1918 at the end of World War I to participate in the Peace Conference, he was welcomed by enthusiastic crowds who gave him credit for ending the war. The cartoonist suggests that Napoleon would have viewed this spectacle with disdain. |
