Varga, Imre (sold)
Imre Varga (c. 1875 - 1964) was a Hungarian artist active in the early 20th century. Varga is an elusive figure but is responsible for an important Hungarian Serio-Comic map issued at the outset of World War I (1914 - 1918). Part of the difficulty in researching Varga is the unrelated but much more famous sculptor of the same name who lived from 1923 - 2019. The only compounds the fact that name itself is common.

The only known example of the Ottoman Turkish edition of Varga Imre's important 1914 serio-propaganda map of Europe at the outset of World War I (1814 - 1918), A Háborús Európa Térkép-Karikatúrája. The map is essentially propaganda for the Central Powers wherein Russia appears as an obnoxious drunk and Hungary is illustrated charging fiercely into battle - note, this is the only WWI Era serio-comic map to illustrate Hungary independently. In this Ottoman edition, released in Istanbul by Khaireya and Co. Press, all the text has been translated into Ottoman Turkish. (more details)
