The Stars – “Those are the Orders of Honor that have been awarded to the dear God for his services to the house of Hohenzollern.” This cartoon depicts a baby Hollenzollern prince explaining the heavens to his brothers and sisters.

But, apparently not realizing to what disaster this vanity tended. They made it the subject of light jest rather than serious reprobation. Simplicissimus, being not a Prussian but a Bavarian paper, ventured further than any other in cartooning royalty.
