Otto von Bismark, German statesman, 1877. Artist: A von Werner
Otto von Bismark, German statesman, 1877. Prince Otto von Bismarck-Schonhausen, Duke of Lauenburg (1815-1898), was Chancellor of Prussia and architect of modern Germany. His ambition was to unify the various independent German states into a single nation under Prussian leadership. The catalyst to bringing this about was the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when the other German states fought alongside the Prussians. France was defeated, and in 1871, the German Empire was established, with Bismarck as Chancellor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Otto von Bismarck, a prominent German statesman of the 19th century. The artist, A von Werner, skillfully portrays Bismarck's commanding presence and determination through his detailed sketch. Bismarck was not only a Chancellor but also an empire builder who played a pivotal role in shaping modern Germany. His ultimate goal was to unify the fragmented German states under Prussian leadership. This vision became a reality after the Franco-Prussian War in 1870 when Germany emerged victorious and established itself as an empire with Bismarck at its helm. The portrait showcases Bismarck's iconic features - his distinguished face adorned with a thick moustache that exudes power and authority. He is depicted engrossed in reading, symbolizing his intellect and dedication to political reform. The inclusion of him smoking a pipe adds depth to the image, hinting at moments of contemplation amidst his relentless pursuit of unification. It also alludes to the metaphorical "power behind the throne" highlighting Bismarck's influential role as he orchestrated significant changes within Germany. A monochrome aesthetic enhances this historical piece, transporting us back to a time when Bismarck's actions shaped the destiny of an entire nation. As we gaze upon this engraving by A von Werner, we are reminded of Otto von Bismarck's enduring legacy as one of Germany's most influential statesmen whose impact resonates even today.
