Prince Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg (1 April 1815 – 30 July 1898), was a German aristocrat and statesman; he was Minister President of Prussia (1862–1890), and the first Chancellor of Germany (1871–1890). Nicknamed the Iron Chancellor, he is noted for his laconic remarks.

This rare litho comes directly from the famous publishing house 'Franz Hanfstaengl' from Munich were it was discovered last year.

Franz Hanfstaengl was one of the intimate followers of Adolf Hitler.
Hanfstaengl and Hitler remained close through the 1920s and early 1930s.
He considered Hitler a diamond in the rough, lacking refinement and social skills. He took it upon himself to do the polishing. Introducing Hitler to Munich’s high society, he helped finance the publication of Mein Kampf and, dollar rich in inflation-hit Germany, bankrolled the NSDAP’s newspaper Völkischer Beobachter.
