Alexandre Millerand, French politician (1859-1943), David Lloyd George, British Prime Minister (1863-1945), and Ferdinand Foch, French Marshal (1851-1929) and others are revealed from under Wrangell's cloak lettered `Entente'.","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Colour lithograph, \"The Devil's Puppet\", ink and paper, by Dmitry Moor, Russian, 1920","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Printed by typo-lythography M.5.N.H., I.
