Political cartoons are not new…yes, they were even used during the reign of Frederick the Great…this image and text was distributed in Frederick’s time and was considered a parody, poking a sarcastic finger at the degree of loyalty within Prussian ranks. It shows Frederick surrounded by his amazingly loyal Infantry…the text states: Du bist noch der alte Fritz… Du theilst jede Gefahr mit uns… Für Dich sterben wir gern!, which translates to: You are still the old Fritz…you share every danger with us, for you we gladly die!
