Description
This is a postcard of the “Iron Chancellor” Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898). Bismarck was the Chancellor under three Kaisers. Politically, he was a key ingredient in the growth (and power) of first Prussia as a kingdom, then Germany as a nation. In this photograph he is seen in monument form in Berlin after his death. On this type of postcard the message was intended to be written on the obverse, while the reverse was reserved for the address. It was mailed in 1901.
