The real trouble will come with the “wake”
Udo J. Keppler, attributed; J. Ottmann Lithographic Company, printer
Why it matters
Published as the international force suppressed the Boxer movement and restored foreign economic influence, the cartoon imagines the powers as uneasy victors. China is both the wounded body beneath them and a dragon whose future awakening justifies continued vigilance, containment, and force.
