Vintage Cartoon: Woman and Dachshund with British Flags - “Taking No Risks” #1448583 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white line drawing, signed by Lewis and dated 1917, depicts a fashionable woman in a cloche hat and knee-length coat walking a dachshund. Both are decorated with small Union Jack flags-one tied to the dog’s neck, another fluttering from the leash-evoking WWI-era British nationalism and humorously implying vigilance against perceived German influence (dachshunds were sometimes stereotyped as “enemy” dogs). The title “Taking no risks” underscores the satire of overzealous loyalty.

Used in historical articles about WWI propaganda, vintage political cartoons, or cultural studies of early 20th-century Britain; appeals to users researching wartime satire, animal symbolism, or Edwardian fashion.
