Description
This is a postcard that shows Prince Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) and his family home at Friedrichsruh. Bismarck served as Chancellor to three German Kaisers. He was known as “The Iron Chancellor.” Von Bismarck led Prussia, then the German Empire to a position as a European and world power before he was dismissed in the 1880’s by Kaiser Wilhelm II (their personalities clashed). The postcard was never mailed.
