The German magazine, Simplicissimus, on 3 May 1904, depicts King Leopold II of Belgium barbequing and eating a decapitated native from the Congo.
Most unlikely to be true, but an intresting view of what the international community thought of such events. The Belgian abuse of human rights in the Congo cost 10 million lives.
