Karte von Europa im Jahre 1870". Lithograph published by Charles Fuchs in Hamburg in 1914. Size: 36,4 x 47,5 cm. Nice example of the German edition of Paul Hadol's satirical political cartoon map ("carte dr�latique") of Europe showing countries personified in caricature and alluding to the tensions that finally erupted as the Franco-Prussian War in July 1870. In the center, a buffoonish Prussia interacts with its suspicious neighbours. England is depicted as an old woman holding its dog, Ireland, by a leash. Spain and Turkey are portrayed as unconcerned women on the fringes relaxing with a cigarette and a hookah respectively. Corsica and Sardinia become an impish figure mooning the viewer. A rifle with a bayonet near the bottom edge is sardonically labeled "Degrees of Longitude." The various tensions and rivalries between the nations are described in the caption: "England enraged forgets Ireland but still keeps it in her power. Spain & Portugal smoke away lazily. France tries to overthrow Prussia who advances one hand on Holland and one over Austria. Italy advises Bismarck to keep off. Corsica & Sardinia laugh on at all. Denmark hopes to recover Holstein. European Turkey awakens yawningly. Asian Turkey is inhaling the smoke of a waterpipe. Sweden crouching like a panther. Russia as Servant Rupert is trying for anything to fill his basket". Provenance: collection Martinus Cornelis Sigal (1888 - 1969), with collector's stamp on verso. Price: Euro 1.250,-. N� de ref. del art�culo 25613
