This volume presents 230 caricatures of Otto von Bismarck from French, English, Russian, Italian, American, Viennese, German, Swiss and other press. Collected and provided with explanatory commentary by K. Walther, the caricatures trace public perception of Bismarck?s politics and personality across Europe and America. A visually rich and historically enlightening survey of satirical reaction to Bismarck?s statesmanship around the turn of the century. This work is a comprehensive compilation of 230 satirical caricatures targeting Otto von Bismarck, sourced from diverse European and American prints. Accompanied by contextual commentary, it analyses how Bismarck?s political strategies?unification of Germany, Kulturkampf, colonial policy?were received and lampooned abroad. As visual primary sources, the cartoons reflect contemporary international attitudes, revealing criticisms of authoritarianism, militarism, diplomacy, and Bismarck?s persona. The volume is valuable for scholars of visual satire, media reception, and transnational political imagery in late 19th?century Europe
