Latest war map of Europe : as seen through French eyes
Subject
19th century European politics
Description
- "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1870 by L. Prang & Co., in the office of the Librarian of Congress of Washington."
- In lower margin: Britannia, full of Rage almost forgets Ireland. Spain, smoking, leans on poor Portugal. France fighting the invader, Prussia, which stretches one hand towards Holland the other towards Austria. Italy says to Bismark, "Take off your foot." Corsica and Sardinia, a little joker, laughs over everything. Denmark lost his legs in Holstein, hoping to retake them again. European Turkey yawns and awakens. Asiatic Turkey sucks her hookah. Sweden bounds a la panther; and Russia resembles a rag-picker, waiting his chance to fill his basket.
