The person depicted licking Hitler's boots is a representation of the French Prime Minister Joseph Paul-Boncour.

oh, thanks for the clarification. Chamberlain did get hoodwinked by Hitler by believing his promise of not invading more territories outside of Poland. i did not realize that Paul-Boncour also kowtowed to Hitler at this time period too. the image still looks like the orange fiend, though. 😁

no prob. Yes, Chamberlain is well known for being an appeaser. But it didn't look like Chamberlain to me and it was a French magazine, so I googled it. And yes, it scarily looks like the Mango Mussolini. Kinda prescient, don't ya think?

yes, that's why i said that the resemblance was uncanny, like as if the artist was looking into today when he made that caricature. given what Chamberlain did then, i thought that it was him on all fours in this image. a humble mistake on my part, and i thank you for pointing it out nicely. 👍🏼😁
