Cartoon illustration of a zookeeper surprised at the stars and stripes colouring of a zebra in its pen during World War I. The text beneath the image reads: 'Remarkable case of protective colouring. Owing, it is believed, to the fears of a German invasion, a zebra at the zoo assumes a neutral aspect.'
