Original coloured lithograph; some expert restoration to short splits at centrefold at upper part of map, laid on fine archivist tissue to strengthen, overall very good. The original French edition of Paul Hadol's satirical, political map of Europe. The countries personified in caricature, alluding to the tension that abounded in Europe at the time. The tension eventually led to the Franco-Prussian war in July 1870. The centre of the map is dominated by Prussia depicted as a buffoon wearing a pickelhelm and interacting with its suspicious neighbours. England is depicted as an old woman holding a dog on a leash (Ireland), whilst Spain and Turkey are portrayed by relaxed women smoking a cigarette and a hookah. France tries to overthrow Prussia who advances with one hand on Holland and a knee keeping Austria down. Denmark hopes to recover Holstein and the islands of Corsica and Sardinia are an impish figure apparently mooning at the observer.
