EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical cartoon print titled "Greedy Boy Bismarck" captures the historical moment when Otto von Bismarck, the Chancellor of Germany from 1871 to 1890, claimed New Guinea for himself in 1884. Depicted alongside him is John Bull, a personification of England, who is shocked at Bismarck's audacity and greed.
The image reflects the imperialistic ambitions and power struggles that characterized European politics during the late 19th century. Bismarck's actions in slicing off New Guinea for his own gain are portrayed as selfish and excessive, even by the standards of John Bull, who was no slouch himself when it came to expanding his empire.
Through clever caricatures and exaggerated expressions, this cartoon highlights themes of colonialism, competition, and national identity. It serves as a reminder of how nations like Germany and England vied for control over territories around the world during this period.
As we look back on this piece of historical satire from 1898, we are reminded of the complexities and contradictions inherent in imperialism. The image challenges us to consider questions about power dynamics, morality, and human nature that continue to be relevant today.
