Same Pictures, Same Words
Czechs, Austrians and Germans Caricatured 1848-1948
The exhibition, formed of 60 posters, shows us, through selected caricatures, the kind of images Germans and Czechs drew of each other, when their pencils and quills were driven by resentment and prejudice.
In order to show this, German, Austrian and Czech newspapers were studied and then comparable caricatures were chosen.
The exhibition considers both specific historical events that occurred between 1848 and 1948, and more general themes expressing national stereotypes and prejudices.
Practical information
60 posters 90 x 70 cm in size (all portrait format), each poster includes four caricatures – two German and two Czech ones. The exhibition can also be shown in a reduced form.
