Premier prix de croissance - La Prusse, 1867. Nota - Un peu difforme la lauréate! (First prize for growth - Prussia. Note: the prize winner is a bit deformed). The year 1867 confers a laurel wreath on the allegorical figure of Prussia, who has grown very tall, and places it over the Pickelhaube [spiked helmet]. Prussia and France went to war three years after this cartoon was published.
