700 [Anthromorphic Map of Europe] CURTZE, August.
Europa 1870... Hanover, 1870, original lithograph colour, 300 x 385mm .
A very attractive anthromorphic map of Europe illustrating the political climate in 1870. Russia hands an account for 1856 to Austria, due to the fact that Austria sided against Russia in the Crmean war and the Paris peace treaty of 1856, thus the former allies became enemies making the Austro-Hungarian Empire vulnerable. 1870 also marked the beginning of the Franco-Prussian war which ended in a humiliating defeat for France, this is illustrated by the female embodiment of Germany who brandishes a sword at the kneeling French emperor, Napoleon III. England is personified as a female figure who desperately tries to control her fearsome lapdog, Ireland and Turkey is shown as a recumbent damsel smoking a hookah pipe.
