EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Finis Finnlandiae, Finland being attacked by Russia" is a powerful representation of the political tensions between these two nations in 1911. The artist, Wilhelm Schulz, cleverly uses caricature to depict Finland as an elk and Russia as a pack of wolves. The image portrays the aggression and destruction inflicted upon Finland by its neighboring country. The elk symbolizes the vulnerability and innocence of Finland, while the wolves represent the predatory nature of Russia's actions. It is evident that this satirical drawing aims to criticize Russian imperialism and its impact on smaller nations like Finland. Schulz's use of color lithography adds depth and intensity to this artwork. The vibrant hues bring life to both the majestic elk and fierce wolves, emphasizing their contrasting roles in this narrative. Displayed originally in Simplicissimus magazine, known for its scathing satire, this cartoon captures attention with its thought-provoking message. It serves as a reminder of historical conflicts and power dynamics that have shaped our world. Preserved in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this piece continues to be admired for its artistic brilliance and socio-political significance. As we observe "Finis Finnlandiae" we are reminded not only of past struggles but also how art can shed light on important issues that resonate even today.
