Summary
| Description |
English:
The original cartoon was published in the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, in 1912 (4th December)
and by the title "A threatening situation". It was drawn by
Nelson Harding
and published again in The World's War Cartoons (Blood and Iron). The Balkans in Caricature, ed. by T. D. Hadjich, London: Cecil Palmer & Hayward, 1916, p. 29 (online at State Library Victoria:
http://digital.slv.vic.gov.au/view/action/singleViewer.do?dvs=1539686002409~477&locale=de&metadata_object_ratio=10&show_metadata=true&VIEWER_URL=/view/action/singleViewer.do?&preferred_usage_type=VIEW_MAIN&DELIVERY_RULE_ID=10&frameId=1&usePid1=true&usePid2=true
). There it is explained as follows: "Serbia, having captured a port on the Adriatic, is threatened by Austria, who sees in the capture a gain for Russia. Russia promptly comes to the protection of Serbia and threatens Austria, whereupon Germany rushes to Austria’s protection and threatens Russia, and so on down the line."
In the WWW it is often found unter the title of "The Chain of Friendship" and interpreted as depicting the
web of alliances
of WWI, since it also depicts the diplomatic situation of Europe in July 1914.

This image is in the
public domain
because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag .
