Abstract:
An ugly, insect-like creature is holding in the claws of its hairy legs a two-headed German zeppelin spewing gas from one head and petrolium from the other; in its center is inscription "Zeppelin infanticida". In its lap the creature is holding a large platter with two small naked children with their hands cut off, blood spurting out of their wounds. The creature's hairy arms are lifted high above its head and are holding the corpse of the nurse Edith Clavell.
