EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898), a German statesman and military leader who is renowned as the founder of the modern German state. The image, taken from Universal History published in 1889, captures Bismarck in his later years, with a full beard and a formal attire that includes a bow tie and a suit. Born in Prussia, Bismarck rose to prominence in European politics through his shrewd diplomacy and military prowess. He served as the Chancellor of the German Empire, King of Prussia, and Duke of Lauenburg. Bismarck's political career was marked by his ability to navigate the complexities of European power dynamics, and his leadership played a significant role in the unification of Germany. The engraving reflects the contemporary European fascination with Bismarck's charisma and influence. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of determination and authority that was characteristic of his political persona. The use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a striking representation of Bismarck's legacy. Bismarck's impact on European history is still felt today, as his policies laid the foundation for the German Empire and set the stage for the events that led to World War I. This engraving serves as a reminder of his enduring influence and the pivotal role he played in shaping the modern world.
