An exceptional and highly collectible historical postcard from 1919, capturing the geopolitical tension in the Schleswig border region following World War I. Created by artist Joh. Lyck and published by Carl C. Biehl in Graasten (Nr. 3758) ahead of the 1920 Schleswig Plebiscites.

The satirical illustration depicts German forces dejectedly evacuating the remnants of Prussian imperial pride. It specifically references the historic event of July 4, 1919, when German locals dismantled the massive Otto von Bismarck monument on Knivsbjerg (near Aabenraa) to prevent it from falling into Danish hands, sawing the giant head off to transport it south toward Rendsborg (Rendsburg).
