Otto von Bismarck stands in the middle of a seesaw that is resting on the back of “Turkey” who is being refreshed with “English Salts” by John Bull, a carpet bag at his feet filled with papers labeled “Naval Supremacy, Egyptian Bonds, [and] Indian Trade.” Sitting on the left of the seesaw are “Montenegro, Russia, Roumania [sic], [and] Bulgaria,” and sitting on the right are “Herzegovina,” an unidentified figure holding a rifle and wearing a turban, “Servia [sic], [and] Austria”, who are holding on to another unidentified figure, possibly Greece. Caption: Bismarck keeps the balance, and the Turk pays the freight.
