Louis Raemaekers, The Gas Fiend, 1916
Louis Raemaekers was born on April 6th, 1869 in Roermond, the Netherlands, the son of a Dutch country editor and a German mother.
Although his first drawings appeared weekly in the newspaper "Algemeen Handelsblad" from 1906 to 1909, Raemaekers was primarily known as a modestly successful painter rather than a cartoonist.
By 1916 he was to become known worldwide as the greatest chronicler of German brutality and militarism.
