Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), a prominent German statesman, is depicted in various illustrations and portraits throughout history. In a drawing by William Nicholson, we see the distinguished figure of Otto, Prince von Bismarck. Known for his role in shaping Germany's political landscape, Bismarck's influence extended far beyond his time. The illustration of Ricardo Flores in Le Rire portrays the ideal Teutonic image associated with Germany and Prussia during that era. It hints at Bismarck's childhood experiences and his involvement in domestic violence as well as the significant impact he had on the war of 14-18. A painting by Franz von Lenbach captures Otto von Bismarck wearing an impressive uniform, showcasing his position as chancellor. This portrait can be found at Musee des Beaux Arts Pouchkine in Moscow. Another portrait by Lenbach emphasizes Bismarck's role as Chancellor of Prussia from 1862 to 1890. His leadership during this period was instrumental in shaping both Prussian and German politics. In addition to these depictions, there are references to carnival costumes worn by Napoleon III and Duvernois which symbolize different political ideologies present during that time. Emperor William I of Germany and Prussia is also seen alongside Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, highlighting their close relationship and collaboration in governing the nation. Furthermore, historical engravings depict key events such as the Franco-Prussian War where Paris was besieged and bombarded in 1870. These images showcase the tumultuous times that shaped Europe under Bismarck's leadership. Lastly, Manuel Luque's illustration graces the cover of Les Hommes d'aujourd'hui magazine number 321 while another satirical piece appears on Le Grelot number 835. These publications shed light on how society perceived figures like Otto von Bismarck during his time.
