The Irrepressible Tourist, 1885
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical cartoon that captures the essence of Germany's Prince Bismarck and his controversial colonial policies. Created by Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this engraving depicts Prince Bismarck surrounded by maps of various locations, symbolizing Germany's expanding empire. In the late 19th century, Germany had acquired possessions in places like the Cameroons, New Guinea, Samoa, and Zanzibar. These territorial gains raised concerns among other nations and sparked diplomatic controversies. The cartoon portrays Prince Bismarck as an enthusiastic tourist who eagerly collects new destinations under German control. With a cigar in hand, Prince Bismarck exudes confidence and power as he navigates through foreign lands. His imperialistic ambitions are highlighted through his portrayal as a royal figure with cigars being synonymous with wealth during that era. This caricature serves to criticize Germany's aggressive foreign policy while also poking fun at the prince himself. "The Irrepressible Tourist" offers insight into the political climate of the time while showcasing Joseph Swain's artistic talent in capturing satire through visual representation. It stands as a historical artifact reflecting both the aspirations and controversies surrounding colonial expansion during the late 19th century. This print from Heritage Images allows us to delve into Otto von Bismarck's legacy as one of history's most influential figures while reminding us of the complexities inherent in global politics during that era.
