Notes:
A satirical German map attacking alleged exploitation by the British Empire. India is being "milked" by a caricature Englishman with a hooked nose, wearing American cowboy gear and Tudor ruffles at his wrists and neck. This is apparently part of a series of illustrations of England as "Freund der freien völker" [Friend of Free Peoples].
