The image titled "O Lovely Peace" showcases the Russian Bear dancing to Germany's tune conducted by Wilhelm I and his Chancellor, Bismarck. Standing tall and proud in their military uniforms, these two influential figures symbolize power and authority.

The cartoon cleverly captures the political dynamics of that era when Otto von Bismarck's diplomacy played a crucial role in shaping European affairs. Tenniel's vertical composition emphasizes the dominance of the German leaders over Russia while also highlighting their historical clothing. The use of Western script adds an international dimension to this thought-provoking piece. Set against an outdoor backdrop in London, this illustration technique brings life to mature men engaged in political discourse during a time when peace was highly sought after but often manipulated for personal gain. Overall, this historic artwork serves as a reminder of how politics can influence nations' actions and highlights the delicate balance between power struggles and aspirations for peace.
