Life

The labor movement in 1890

After graduating, Kaskeline worked for the Austrian Social Democrats. Before 1890 he was a member of the banned Apollo smoking club, after 1890 second secretary in the Apollo club of Franz Schuhmeier . He was involved in founding the Veritas reading and discussion club , which later became the Austrian Students' Union and the Association of Social Democratic Academics. He was at the Hainfeld party congress in 1888/89 and drew the picture: The workers' movement in 1890 . The picture was judged favorably by Friedrich Engels and Friedrich Engels added Friedrich Kaskeline's business card to his collection.

Kaskeline was the illustrator of the social democratic humoristic magazines Glühlichter and Rasple. In the light bulbs he made numerous well-known anti-Semitic contributions, whereby he was Jewish and is buried in the Jewish cemetery in Weißensee (Berlin). He gave lectures in workers' educational institutions and gave drawing lessons. From 1894 he also worked as a special artist for the English magazines Graphic and Daily Graphic. In 1895 he drew Bismarck as aegir , the Glühlichter magazine was therefore condemned for insulting majesty.

In 1902 Kaskeline's son Egon was born in Vienna. Around 1907 he emigrated to Germany and settled in Berlin. At the beginning of the war in 1914, he drew the German Emperor Friedrich Wilhelm Viktor Albert of Prussia with the slogan: “I don't know any parties anymore and I accepted the offer of the German Emperor to the Social Democrats.” During the First World War he created propaganda graphics and images of war. After the First World War he did not draw any further political pictures. From the 1920s onwards, he created numerous, qualitatively and thematically very different illustrations on postcards , which were also successful in England, as well as commercial graphics.
