What it is
A satirical sheet Aleksandr Apsit drew in Russia in 1914, 36 by 51 cm, from the Sammlung Eybl, now at the Plakatmuseum Wien.
Why it matters
European Kitchen sets out the powers at the start of the war as a kitchen, each cast as its national dish; Italy was still neutral that year. Apsit later drew the first Red Army posters.
What to notice
Austria arrives at Russia's pot of porridge as wieners; Germany, the sausage in the centre, is blocked by a French bottle of champagne; Italian macaroni look on.
A world war, plated as dinner.
