"Sovereigns No. 8° Caricature of William I, King of Prussia" is a satirical cartoon by James Tissot from 1870. The image depicts William I, the King of Prussia, as a gluttonous figure, satirizing his role in the Franco-Prussian War. The king is shown at a table, holding a knife and fork, with blood stains on the tablecloth. The image is a commentary on the violence and bloodshed of the war, and is a humorous yet critical take on the political climate of the time.
