Abstract

In this 1879 caricature from the satirical journal Kladderadatsch, the liberal spoke warns the conservative and the (Catholic) ultramontane spokes not to become too haughty during Bismarck’s time at the helm of the ship of state. “As soon as the wind shifts, I’ll be on top again.”

“At the Helm” (June 15, 1879)
