Cover illustration: Detail from George Wesley Bellows (1882-1925), Massacre at Dinant, 1918. Oil on canvas, 49 1/2 × 83 inches. This American artist devoted much of his energy in 1918 to depicting atrocities allegedly committed by the German army during the invasion and occupation of Belgium in the opening years of World War I. This detail is from one of five monumental oil paintings Bellows completed based on the Bryce Report, a British publication documenting alleged German outrages that was printed in its entirety in the New York Times on May 13, 1915. Collection of the Greenville County Museum of Art (Greenville, S.c.), gift of Minor M. Shaw, Buck A. Mickel, and Charles C. Mickell, and the Arthur and Holly Magill Purchase Fund. See the article in this issue by Nicoletta F. Gullace, “Sexual Violence and Family Honor: British Propaganda and International Law during the First World War,” 714-47.
