L'Assiette au Beurre Drawing - French Politicians

A humorous drawing by Grandjouan from "L'Assiette au Beurre" of French politicians Georges Clemenceau (left) and Aristide Briand (right). A Wright-type biplane soars overhead in flight over the border between Germany and France. The caption reads:

"Clemenceau. -- Tou de même, avec ce truc-là, il n'y a plus de patries... Briand. -- Tant mieux !... Ça nous permettra de revenir à nos anciennes idées."

[Clemenceau: "Likewise, with this thing, there are no more homelands..." Briand: "Good! ... It will allow us to return to our old ideas."]
