Today's Flickr photo with the most hits is an unusual one.
It shows Bismarck during a Reichstag Session, in February 1888, painted by Henseler. Adjacent to him is a figure, painted out.
The (soon to be) Wilhelm II?
Once ardent admirer & supporter, he soon came to resent the Chancellor and dismissed him. My guess is he couldn't stomach being reminded of the their earlier amity.
