Seen recently at an auction house. This was in connection with the Upper Silesia referendum of 1921, which would determine if a heavily industrialized area went to Poland or (post-war, Weimar) Germany. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1921_.....sia_plebiscite A small portion of the area did, in fact, vote to join Poland.
The text, translated: "You probably have my basket in mind? My dear Silesia is in there! It will always remain inseparably with me, because it looks desolate and wild at your place." Little Red Riding Hood wears a skirt with the imperial German colors and the red wolf bears the heraldic animal of Poland.

What I find weird is that the style of her hat is reminiscent of how, in Germany of the time, French were depicted at times.
The German "Michel" cap was usually for males and had the "tip" usually angled back and ending in a sharp tip ( Zipfelmütze), not a rounded "smurfhat" style.
Is that image from Germany?

I've seen enough early 20th century issues of Simplicissimus (sp) and Kladderadatsch (sp) to know what you're referring to about the hat. Aside from Marianne/France, Columbia/Lady Liberty was often depicted with that cap of Liberty, on coins and in cartoons, deep into the 19th century. An interesting choice, to be sure, especially with the placement of the cockade
