I figli d'Europa Abstract: Italian political cartoon shows two scenes in the aftermath of the Congress of Berlin, on the left, an allegorical female figure wearing a crown labeled Europa, seated on a throne among ruins, admonishing child-like figures labeled Greco holding a paper labeled Unita ed Indipendens, Rumeno holding a paper labeled Bessarabia, Austria holding a paper labeled Bosnia ed Erzegovina, Turco holding a paper labeled Integrita, Inglese holding a paper labeled Inte Ressi, Russo holding a paper labeled Dominio nes Balkani ein Armenia, and a child on the right representing Italy holding a paper labeled Trentino e Trieste. Near the left margin is a man wearing a spiked helmet, walking away from the clamoring children, may represent Prussia. In the upper left is a hideous creature labeled Guerra; in the upper right corner is a figure standing on top of a domed building labeled Pace. The scene on the right shows two congress delegates in a drawing room, standing on the left is a man labeled Inglese holding a jack-in-the-box labeled Greco, which he is showing to a man (Aleksandr Gorchakov) seated in a chair labeled Russo. The Englishman says he can frighten everyone with this toy, to which Gorchakov replies, do you think I am a child?
