Title: The seance that failed
Creator(s): Berryman, Clifford Kennedy, 1869-1949, artist
Date Created/Published: [1918 or 1919]
Summary: Cartoon shows a Germanic-looking man, labeled 'Herr Hun, Hypnotist' trying to hypnotize a man with closed eyes (labeled 'Allies') seated in a chair. The hypnotist says, 'Now can't you see yourself equally guilty?' The man replies, 'Nope!' A sign on the wall reads 'Versailles Peace Quarters.' By the time the Paris Peace Conference convened, the Allies had all adopted the idea that Germany bore sole guilt for the first World War. The Germans tried in vain to insist that responsibility for guilt should be shared equally.
