German Emperor William II, wearing a large robe and carrying a large sword, walks arm in arm with a tall female figure labeled “Germania.” Behind him, the robe is carried by “Italy,” “Austria,” and others. Standing on a balcony, looking down, is Otto von Bismarck. In the lower right foreground, a female figure labeled “France” walks arm in arm with “Russia” who leads her away from the pageantry. She holds a treaty tightly in her right hand, as she casts a stern glance back over her shoulder at William II. At the head of the procession are three men blowing horns labeled “Press.” Caption: The proudest moment in Willy Hohenzollern’s life – He celebrates the 25th anniversary of the glorious victory of Sedan.
