John Heartfield – published on December 26, 1935, in the German magazine, Arbeiter-Illustriete Zeitung (AIZ, “Worker’s Illustrated Paper”)

‘O you joyful, o you blessed, mercy-bringing time’, from a popular German Christmas carol. (Notably, the start of the next line is ‘the world was lost’, which has a very different meaning in this context…)
