Title
JM-194: Paris scenes with Franklin and Wilson
Summary
This top panel of this cartoon shows Benjamin Franklin walking outside in Paris, France. Benjamin Franklin held the title of Commissioner to France from 1776 to 1785, while he served as an ambassador to France during and after the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin is walking in a busy market place and passes an “epicere”, which can be translated from French to mean a grocery. The bottom panel shows Woodrow Wilson passing through the streets of Paris in a parade. Woodrow Wilson traveled to Paris in 1919 after the fighting in WWI had ceased. Wilson attended the Paris Peace Conference, which would eventually produce the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles is the treaty that formally concluded WWII.
