1870 – P. Hadol – Nieuwe kaart van Europa
1,000 €
Title: “Nieuwe kaart van Europa 1870”
Description:
Original, Dutch edition, of Paul Haddol’s satirical political cartoon map of Europe showing countries personified in caricature and alluding to the tensions that finally erupted as the Franco-Prussian War in July 1870. In the center, a buffoonish Prussia interacts with its suspicious neighbors. England is depicted as an old woman holding its dog, Ireland, by a leash. Spain and Turkey are portrayed as unconcerned women on the fringes relaxing with a cigarette and a hookah respectively. Corsica and Sardinia become an impish figure mooning the viewer. A rifle with a bayonet near the bottom edge is sardonically labeled “Degrees of Longitude.”
Published by Emrick & Binger Haarlem in 1870.
