    Actually it is headed "list of Ministers at the Conference in Genoa" which took place in 1922 to discuss Monetary matters after WWI.I think the conference confirmed that Germany was to pay huge reparations as compensation to the victors, presumably why the worst of German inflation didn't happen till 1922/3. (and cited as one of the causes of WWII) The French Ministers name translates as "to a new market" presumably the other names have similar connotations to the French, it was the French and Belgians who had lost most money-wise and were pressing for the reparations (in fact when Germany didn't pay up they marched into the Ruhr and helped themselves to raw materials and machinery)
    But what I don't understand is the tie up between the back and the picture, there is no obvious nationality for the chap or the goose, what's it all about? There's obviously a big gap between the French and British sense of humour!
    I have seen other copies of the card

    I never saw that card before,but I don't think it's actually "propaganda"
    All the names of the plenipotentiaries are puns in french language,most of them with sexual implication.
    Why "to a new market"?
    Regards.

    An example (not the coarsest one) : "Lord Kitt" must be read "L'orchite" (orchitis)

    I wonder who it was meant to influence or was it just a (fairly rude) comment on the outcome of the Conference? The image is poorly drawn and the whole card is poorly produced. Perhaps the image had some meaning in France at the time which has been forgotten? The translation "to a new market" might be a sanitized version, I got it from the web!
