'Peace - and No Pieces!', 1866. Artist: John Tenniel

'Peace - and No Pieces!', 1866. Bismarck, on the left, with the utmost courtesy, advises an equally courteous Napoleon III, that he won't find anything to pick up in Prague, which is where the agreement after the recent war between Austria and Prussia was signed in August 1866. The war, although carefully engineered by Bismarck, had resulted in great gain for Prussia. Not only had Austria had to consent to future exclusion from the Germanic Confederation, but also had agreed to pay a large amount towards the cost of the war. In addition, Prussia was given Hanover, Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Homburg and Nassau, amongst other territories. France, who had been instrumental in bringing about this resolution, then demanded that her own territories should be realigned to include Sarrelouis and Landau. This was refused without loss of time by Prussia and France withdrew her claim. From Punch, or the London Charivari, August 25, 1866.
