Description:
This print is a reference to the silver bell rung to get order in Parliament during the time of Dupin when he was presiding over the General Assembly in 1851. The helmet shown here is obviously Prussian and similar to the one worn by Bismarck. Prinz von Otto Eduard Leopold Bismarck (1815 – 1898) was appointed Ambassador to France in 1862 and became State Minister and State Secretary in the same year. He was responsible for the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 and was present at the siege of Paris. He proclaimed the dissolution of the German Federation and the establishment of a German Empire at Versailles. Bismarck claimed war damages from France amounting to 5 billion francs.
