EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in European history - the meeting between Otto von Bismarck and Napoleon III on September 2nd, 1870. The two powerful leaders are depicted on horseback, symbolizing their authority and dominance. Otto von Bismarck, known as the Iron Chancellor, was a conservative Prussian statesman who played a pivotal role in shaping German and European affairs during the late 19th century. His influence extended from the 1860s until his resignation in 1890. On the other hand, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte was not only the first President of the French Second Republic but also went on to become Emperor Napoleon III of the Second French Empire. The meeting took place at Chaussee Von Donchery amidst significant political tension caused by the Franco-Prussian War. This war ultimately led to France's defeat and surrender at Sedan. The engraving is based on Anton Alexander von Werner's painting depicting this crucial encounter. In this image, we witness these formidable leaders coming face-to-face, representing an intersection of power dynamics that would shape Europe for years to come. It serves as a visual reminder of their roles in defining national destinies during a time marked by conflict and transformation.
