The Power of an Image: How cartoons championed and criticised the Constitution in the Weimar Republic
Description
Images are powerful tools for social commentary, legal critique and political expression. During the period of the Weimar Republic in Germany, the cartoon genre became an important medium to support and satirise the new Constitution. Mixing irony with imagery, cartoon artists contributed to a visual legal imagination that went beyond the formal texts of law and politics.
