EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving captures a historic moment in European history - the meeting between Otto von Bismarck and Napoleon III on September 2,1870. The image showcases the two influential figures on horseback, surrounded by a picturesque landscape of trees and a winding path. On the left side of the print stands Otto von Bismarck, known as an astute statesman and Chancellor of the North German Confederation. Dressed in his military uniform with a rifle slung over his shoulder, he exudes power and determination. On the right side is Napoleon III, also mounted on horseback, representing France's Second French Empire. As Emperor of France, he holds significant influence over continental politics. The Chaussee von Donchery serves as the backdrop for this historic encounter. It was here that these two leaders met to discuss matters crucial to their nations during the Franco-Prussian War. This artwork offers us a glimpse into this pivotal moment when political tensions were high and war loomed large. The artist Anton Alexander von Werner skillfully captures both men's commanding presence while emphasizing their contrasting roles within Europe's political landscape. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how historical events shape our world today and how individuals like Bismarck and Napoleon III played vital roles in shaping European history.
