Cartoon drawings come to life to haunt the German Emperor in a witty piece of WWI propaganda.

After events such as the bombardment of historic Rheims and its cathedral, the German Emperor was haunted by bad 'dRheims' and insomnia - according to this witty satire by artist and illustrator Lancelot Speed. Speed cunningly supplements his skilled draughtsmanship with stop-motion animation and other camera effects, plus some inventive humour, to draw out the maximum propaganda value.

Lancelot Speed executes a number of sketches which are then animated, depicting a sleepless Kaiser Wilhelm as Attila, an army trumpeter and a red cross nurse with a gun.
