The Knight and his Companion, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the political landscape of 19th century Germany. Created by renowned artists Joseph Swain and John Tenniel, this caricature depicts Prince Bismarck, the influential figure who served as Chancellor of Germany during that time. The artwork was inspired by the General Election held in mid-February 1887, where Bismarck's party emerged victorious with a healthy majority. However, it also highlights the growing support for socialism in Berlin, symbolized by the Socialists' significant gains in the election. The horseback knight represents Bismarck himself, adorned in armor and armed with a lance to signify his power and authority. This satirical cartoon not only captures an important political event but also serves as commentary on German society at large. The monochrome black-and-white engraving adds depth to its historical significance while emphasizing key elements such as weaponry and royalty. "The Knight and his Companion" stands as a testament to Joseph Swain's artistic prowess and John Tenniel's ability to convey complex ideas through visual satire. It provides viewers with an opportunity to delve into Otto von Bismarck's reign as well as gain insights into the socio-political climate of 19th century Germany.
