Willy as Pagliacci
Library of Congress LC-DIG-ppmsca-57993
Circa 1916 postcard by R. Leoncavallo shows a caricature of Kaiser Wilhelm as a clown, complete with Pickelhaube, holding a knife dripping blood. The Italian lyrics translate as, Yes, Pagliaccio, I have a pale face solely from anger and a desire for revenge.
Ah, the old vendetta.
