The title of this map is : "Latest war map of Europe : as seen through French eyes"
The picture created by Paul Hadol in 1870.
Britannia, full of Rage almost forgets Ireland.
Spain, smoking, leans on poor Portugal.
France fighting the invader, Prussia, which stretches one hand towards Holland the other towards Austria.
Italy says to Bismark, "Take off your foot."
Corsica and Sardinia, a little joker, laughs over everything.
Denmark lost his legs in Holstein, hoping to retake them again.
European Turkey yawns and awakens.
Asiatic Turkey sucks her hookah.
Sweden bounds a la panther;
and Russia resembles a rag-picker, waiting his chance to fill his basket.
