George Barbier (1882-1932) was one of the great French illustrators of the early 20th century. Born in Nantes, France on October 10, 1882, Barbier was 29 years old when he mounted his first exhibition in 1911 and was subsequently swept to the forefront of his profession with commissions to design theatre and ballet costumes, to illustrate books, and to produce haute couture fashion illustrations. For the next 20 years Barbier led a group from the Ecole des Beaux Arts who were nicknamed by Vogue 'The Knights of the Bracelet'a tribute to their fashionable and flamboyant mannerisms and style of dress. Included in this élite circle were Bernard Boutet de Monvel and Pierre Brissaud (both of whom were Barbier's first cousins), Paul Iribe, Georges Lepape, and Charles Martin. During his career Barbier also turned his hand to jewellery, glass and wallpaper design, wrote essays and many articles for the prestigious Gazette du bon ton.

Cursed by His Ancestors Stupid blunderer! Foolish pupil! Among neutral cartoonists of the War, the most noted after Raemarkers has been the Spanish artist Robida. This is perhaps his most striking cartoon. His designs are like those of the Russians, straight-forward, obvious and unaided by suggestion. From a gas-filled and malodorous heaven Frederick the Great looks down in fury, and Bismarck, now become a winged cherub, glares in disgust. Both curse the blunderer who is ruining their work by stupidly misapplying their crafty falsehoods. While henry II raises the crown of world empire to his own head, his son plays frivolously with the world, balancing it on a finger, and Bulgarian, Turkish, and Austrian leaders smile ingratiatingly above the flames and ruin they have caused. But the Worlds bayonets are coming. Bismarck and Frederick see them, though the others do not.

Odin is killed by Fenrir (the Fenris wolf) at the battle of Ragnarok. Unfortunately, this involves the destruction of the world.
