As shown above, this map, "John Bull and His Friends," is a seriocomic map of Europe in 1900. John Bull is the personification of Britain. The author of this map is Fred. W. Rose, who is an Englishman. The portrait of each country has propaganda use. Russia is an octopus profile spreading its tentacles to Poland, China, and Persia. This map defaces Russia and the last emperor of Russia, Tzar Nikolai II, making people fear the expansion of Russia. The map creator, Rose, intendedly uses the propaganda technique of particular appeal, specifically, fear. He transfers the motif of evil from octopus to Russia. 

In contrast, England and Scotland are portrayed as John Bull sitting on shells labeled Canada, Australia, South Africa and India. On his leg, there are two wild cats, Orange Free State and Transvaal. Rose praises Great Britain, though Britain also invades other countries. He uses the propaganda technique of false connection. The people and animals not only present those countries but also stir the emotion. The soldier John Bull with a national flag transfer the idea of patriotism and those shells transfer the notion of power. More than that, though Great Britain is powerful, it is not depicted as a lord. Instead, Britain is portrayed as everyday folk. In the other part of this map, all the countries are facing to England and Scotland. The Ireland wife is going to join Great Britain. Those portraits make Britain as all the Europeans' hope to escape from the invasion of Russia.
