Is it you, Mother? tunnelling shield 'Portrait of a Woman''Is it you, Mother?', 1916. Plate 75 from The Great War: A Neutral's Indictment by Louis Raemaekers. The Dutch graphic artist Louis Raemaekers (1869 1956) produced fiercely anti German cartoons during the First World War. The Germans offered a substantial reward for him, dead or alive, and the Dutch government, under pressure from Germany, placed Raemaekers on trial on a charge of endangering Dutch neutrality. He was acquitted, but fled to England
