Portret van Otto van Bismarck, Duits staatsman 1855 - 1870

This is a portrait of Otto von Bismarck, a prominent German statesman, taken between 1855 and 1870 by the photographic firm Leopold Haase & Co. The photograph captures Bismarck in a formal setting, standing in a room with a chair and draped table. The image is a classic example of 19th-century portrait photography, with a focus on capturing the sitter's likeness and conveying their social standing. The detail of Bismarck holding a top hat and his serious expression further reinforce his position as a powerful figure in German politics.
