Otto von Bismarck, German statesman, 1885
Otto von Bismarck, German statesman, 1885. Otto Edward Leopold, Count von Bismarck (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 showcases Otto von Bismarck, a prominent German statesman in 1885. Known for his role as the Chancellor of Prussia and the mastermind behind modern Germany, Bismarck's ultimate ambition was to unite all independent German states under Prussian leadership. His vision came to fruition during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 when other German states joined forces with Prussia against France. The defeat of France led to the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, with Bismarck assuming the position of Chancellor. In this black and white portrait engraving, we see Bismarck donning a military uniform, symbolizing his influential role in shaping Germany's destiny through political strategies and warfare. His profile exudes determination and strength as he gazes into the distance, embodying both nationalism and leadership. This image captures an important moment in history - a turning point that forever changed Germany's trajectory towards becoming a unified nation. As we admire this nineteenth-century photograph by Otto von Bismarck himself (although it is unclear if he took it or commissioned its creation), we are reminded of his significant contributions to not only Germany but also European politics at large.
