Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Carl Schurz as Mephistopheles from Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's dramatic poem Faust leans over Charles Sumner as Faust and points to the alluring Lady USA in the background. In their roles as U.S. Senators they are apparently (judging from the words Sumner is writing on the paper in front of him) discussing strategy regarding their investigation of sales of arms to France during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. |
