Dropping the Pilot is a political cartoon by Sir John Tenniel, first published in the British magazine ''Punch'' on 29 March 1890.〔 It depicts Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, as a maritime pilot, stepping off a ship (perhaps a reference to Plato's ship of state),〔 idly and unconcernedly watched by a young Wilhelm II, German Emperor. Bismarck had resigned as Chancellor at Wilhelm's demand just ten days earlier on 19 March,〔''The Times'', London: Times Newspapers Ltd., March 19, 1890.〕〔''The New York Times'', New York: The New York Times Company, March 19, 1890.〕 as Bismarck's political views were too different from Wilhelm's. After the cartoon's publication, Tenniel received a commission from Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery to create a copy to be sent to Bismarck himself. The former Chancellor reportedly replied, "It is indeed a fine one."〔Engen, Rodney K. ''Sir John Tenniel: Alice's White Knight'', Aldershot, Hants, England: Scolar Press, 1991, 140-142.〕 The cartoon is well known in Germany and often used in history textbooks, under the title (ドイツ語:Der Lotse geht von Bord), (literally, ''The pilot leaves the ship'').〔 "Here, we see a weary Bismarck descending the ladder of the “ship” Germany, which he had steered for almost 20 years as chancellor. A young Wilhelm II looks on from the deck."〕 ==Adaptations== * ''Dropping the pilot'', referring to Kaiser Wilhelm's removal from the list of Royal Navy admirals in 1914, by David Low〔 〕 * ''Dropping the pilot'', referring to Winston Churchill, by Daniel Bishop * Steve Bell of ''The Guardian'' has adapted the cartoon: * * ''Vice-president faces isolation after key ally leaves Pentagon'' * * ''Iraqis celebrate the withdrawal of American combat troops'' * * ''David Cameron's response to Coulson's guilt'' * Martin Rowson of ''The Guardian'' has also adapted the cartoon: * * ''Steve Hilton's Exit'' * * ''Undropping the Pilot'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dropping the Pilot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
