Descrizione
English: Cartoon map showing the political situation in Europe in 1877.
Russia - A vicious-looking Octopus - its eight lengthy tentacles extending into Northern and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia, encircling in tightening strangle-holds the territories of Finland, Poland, Bulgaria, the Crimea and Persia and even reaching as far as the Holy Land, Armenia and Khiva in Central Asia.
  • The Turkish Empire, in the form of a prostrate turbaned figure lying across the Dardanelles and Bosphorus, pistol at the ready, protects his prize gold watch, Constantinople, which hangs around his waist.
  • Greece, an irritating crab, pinches his right elbow.
  • Hungary is held back from attacking Russia by his sister Austria.
  • Germany, in the form of its uniformed Emperor, surrounds itself with arms and weaponry, ready for any emergency.
  • France in the form of Marshal MacMahon, points a dangerous mitrailleuse at its German neighbour, eager to avenge its defeat in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71.
  • Italy is a young girl enjoying her newly found liberty, the Papal crown located in Rome.
  • Spain is the reclining figure of Alfonso, sleeping after his recent exertions.
  • The King of Belgium surrounds himself with his treasure.
  • Denmark waves her small flag proudly.
  • The British Isles, England a kneeling gentleman umbrella at the ready, Scotland a kilted highlander with claymore raised, and Ireland a hooded monk with Home Rule on his mind, stand on the sidelines determined at least to save the Turk's watch.
  • Sweden stands aloof in the North as a fur-clad woodcutter.
