PCT4267732 Drolatic map of Europe for 1870 (litho) by Hadol, Paul (1835-1875); (add.info.: England, isolated, plague of rage and almost forgets about Ireland, which it holds on a leash. Spain smokes, leaning on Portugal. France repels the invadings of Prussia, which advances one hand over Holland and the other over Austria. Italy, too, said to Bismarck, Take your feet off. Corsica and Sardinia... a real Gavroche laughing at everything. Denmark, which lost its legs in the Holstein, hope to take them back. Turkey in Europe is screwing and wakes up. Asian Turkey sucks smoke from its hookah. Swedens leaping. And Russia looks like a croquemitan who wants to fill his hood.); Photo eGusman; French, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Drolatic map of Europe for 1870" takes us on a whimsical journey through the political landscape of Europe during the 19th century. Created by Paul Hadol, a French artist known for his satirical caricatures, this print offers a unique and humorous perspective on international relations at that time. The map is filled with clever allegorical representations of each country's position and behavior. England appears isolated, consumed by its own internal conflicts while holding Ireland on a leash. Spain leans on Portugal as it indulges in smoking, perhaps symbolizing its laid-back attitude towards politics. France defiantly repels Prussia's advances into Holland and Austria. Italy boldly demands Bismarck to remove his feet from its territories, showcasing their resistance against foreign influence. Corsica and Sardinia are portrayed as mischievous characters laughing at everything around them like Gavroche from Victor Hugo's Les Misérables. Denmark hopes to regain what was lost in the Holstein crisis while Turkey in Europe awakens from slumber amidst political turmoil. Sweden is depicted leaping forward with enthusiasm, while Russia resembles a croquemitan - an imaginary creature with an insatiable appetite - suggesting its expansionist ambitions. Through this intricate engraving, Patrice Cartier captures not only the geographical aspects but also the underlying dynamics of power struggles between nations during this pivotal period in European history. This artwork serves as both an entertaining satire and an insightful commentary on
