EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in European history as Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) reads the French reply to the Ems Telegram to Emperor Wilhelm I (1797-1888) at Berlin's Potsdam Station on July 13, 1870. The Ems Telegram was a controversial dispatch written by the Prussian ambassador in Ems, Count Bernhard von Bülow, which was intended to provoke a diplomatic incident between Prussia and France. The French response, penned by Foreign Minister Edmond Thouvenel, was perceived as an insult to the Prussian monarch, and Bismarck used it as an excuse to declare war on France, marking the beginning of the Franco-Prussian War. The image, taken by renowned German photographer Hermann Rohling (1835-1901), captures the intense atmosphere of the moment as Bismarck, with a determined expression, delivers the news to Wilhelm I, who sits attentively on a train platform at Potsdam Station. The train, which is visible in the background, symbolizes the rapid pace of events and the imminent military mobilization. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the complex diplomatic maneuvers that led to the Franco-Prussian War and the profound impact it had on European politics and the unification of Germany. Rohling's masterful composition and use of light and shadow add to the historical significance of the scene, making it a valuable addition to any collection of European history or diplomacy.
