Cartoon by Lang on the Saar question (2 February 1952)
Image ‘Frigidity on the wedding night.’ On 2 February 1952, German cartoonist Ernst Maria Lang shows that settling the issue of the Saar is a source of friction between France and the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG). The ‘young Franco-German couple’, represented by Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer (on the left) and France depicted as Marianne wearing a Phrygian cap (on the left), fight over the bed covers, which display the word ‘Saar’.
