"The Proclamation of the German Empire (18 January 1871) is the title of several historical paintings by the German painter Anton von Werner.
On 18 January 1871, Anton von Werner was present at the proclamation of the German Empire in Versailles in his capacity as a painter. In the following years, he produced several versions of the imperial proclamation at greater intervals, two of which were shown in prominent places in Berlin. Only a third version was preserved to Otto von Bismarck's last residence, Friedrichsruh, and is now open to the public. It is the most reproduced picture of the Imperial Proclamation." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.11.2023)
