English: Charles Sumner puts his head in the gaping mouth of a lion while holding papers relating to the investigation that U.S. violated its neutral obligations by selling arms to France during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. In his pocket are papers relating to U.S. claims against Great Britain for violating its neutral obligations by outfitting privateers during the Civil War ("Alabama claims"). Carl Schurz looks on anxiously in the background. |

- “Why did he seek this counsel? It was to prove that our Government had violated its neutral obligations to Germany, to embroil us in a diplomatic difficulty with that Power, and to prejudice our own case with the tribunal at Geneva, by showing that we sinned as gravely against Germany as England sinned against us in the time of the Rebellion.” — N. Y. Herald, Feb. 21, 1872.
