Description

Caption reads: "I show you the real Berlin, the underbelly," said George Grosz, and he did not exaggerate. We went to / the most sickening cafe entertainments, probably an accurate reflection of this decadent period. The wit / was vulgar and bitter, and was hugely enjoyed by my artist guide.
