EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Otto von Bismarck, a prominent German statesman of the 19th century. Created by artist Andre Gill in 1867, it portrays Bismarck as a cunning cat with a mousetrap, symbolizing his political strategies and manipulations. At the time this cartoon was published in La Lune (Paris), Bismarck served as both a Conservative Deputy and Inspector of Dykes. The significance of this image lies in its connection to the Franco-Prussian War that took place three years later. Bismarck's deliberate provocation of France led to their declaration of war on Prussia in 1870. This act played a crucial role in unifying Germany, as other independent German states rallied behind Prussia against what they perceived as French aggression. Ultimately, France faced defeat while Germany emerged victorious. In 1871, the German Empire was proclaimed with Bismarck assuming the position of Chancellor. The print highlights his instrumental role in shaping German nationalism and solidifying its position on the world stage. Through caricature and satire, Gill effectively captures not only Bismarck's political prowess but also his feline-like nature - playing cat and mouse with his adversaries to achieve his goals. This engraving serves as an intriguing portrayal of one man's influence on an entire nation during a transformative period in history.
