The Russian-French alliance. By Udo J. Keppler (1872-1956). Print shows the Russian Bear playing a fiddle labeled "Politics", around its waist is a belt with papers labeled "French Military Secrets" tucked behind, and a cord extending from its right wrist is connected to a restraint labeled "Treaty" around the neck of a dancing soldier labeled "France". The French soldier may refer to Ferdinand W. Esterhazy who was involved in the Dreyfus Affair and the sale of military secrets to Germany.
