DescriptionOpium War.jpg |
English: Satire showing an Englishman ordering the emperor of China to buy opium. Another Chinese man lies dead on floor with troops in background, one man poised to fire a gun. The text says: "I tell you to immediately buy the gift here. We want you to poison yourself completely, because we need a lot of tea in order to digest our beefsteaks.
Français : 'Yé vo dis qu'il faut.../ pou digerer confortéblement nos Beefteakes!'
Deutsch: Warum England den Opiumkrieg entfesselte.
Diese Zeichnung von Jean Grandville aus dem Charivari (1840) trägt die Unterschrift: “Ihr müsst dies Gift sofort kaufen”, sagt der Engländer,” “wir wollen, dass ihr euch vollkommen vergiftet, damit wir genug Tee haben, um unsere Beefsteaks zu verdauen.”
Norsk bokmål: På bildet ser vi engelskmannen gi den kinesiske keiseren ordre om å kjøpe masse opium. Teksten: "Jeg sier deg at du straks skal kjøpe denne giften her. Vi vil at dere skal forgifte dere voldsomt mye, for vi trenger masse te for å kunne fordøye biffen vår". |
