EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historical print, we are transported back to the year 1875 in Germany during a time of intense political and religious tension. The image depicts Pope Pius IX engaged in a strategic game of chess, using his encyclical Quod nunquam as his powerful game piece. This move is aimed directly at Otto von Bismarck, the Chancellor of Germany, who had been implementing anti-clerical policies. The cartoon cleverly portrays the ongoing battle between the Catholic Church and Bismarck's government through this metaphorical chess match on the board of Kulturkampf (cultural struggle). It symbolizes their fierce competition for power and influence within German society. The men in this artwork represent key figures from that era: Pope Pius IX with his distinguished appearance and Prince Otto von Bismarck with his iconic moustache. Their presence adds depth to the satire depicted here. This print serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape during late 19th-century Germany, where religion clashed with state authority. It captures an important moment in history when both sides were vying for dominance over public opinion and policy-making. Granger Art on Demand provides us with an intriguing glimpse into this significant period through their collection of thought-provoking prints like this one.
