# Θέλεις και σὺ Καβάλλα; (Do You Want Kavala Too?)

Lithograph poster, priced at 20 lepta, of a caricatured rider in Greek dress on a large horse, tongue out, while a uniformed figure with epaulettes and a sabre bends with his face at the horse's tail, under the headline 'Do you want Kavala too?'. The tell: a territorial claim is answered with a mocking caricature and no argument, ridicule doing the work of a reply.
