Here we see a Prussian and an Austrian still fencing against each other on top of a Holsteinian. The war between Prussia and Austria had started and was won by the Prussians in the battle of Sadowa. Silesia as well as the province of Holstein became Prussian (formerly Danish). A truce was signed in August 1866 in Prague.
