Summary

Description
English: Caricature from the punch magazine. It shows Sultan Abdul Hamid II. in front of a poster which announces the reorganisation of the Ottoman Empire. The empire's value is estimated at 5 million pounds. Russia, France and England are mentioned as the directors of the reorganisation. The Sultan says: "For God's sake! (Bismillah) Make me into a limited company? M'M - AH - I suppose they'll allow me to join the board after allotment." The caricature refers to the weakness of the Ottoman Empire around the turn of the century (Sick man of Europe), making it the cue ball of European powers.
Deutsch: Karikatur aus dem Punch. Sie zeigt Sultan Abdülhamid II. vor einem Anschlag, der die Neuorganisation bzw. den Verkauf des Osmanischen Reiches für 5 Mio. brit. Pfund ankündigt. Als "Aufsichtsrat" signieren die europäischen Großmächte Russland, England und Frankreich. Der Sultan sagt (Bildunterschrift): "Um Gottes Willen! (Bismillah) Mich in eine Kapitalgesellschaft umwandeln? M'M - AH - Ich nehme an, sie werden mir nach der Verteilung (der Einflusszonen) einen Vorstandsposten zugestehen." Die Karikatur spielt auf die Schwäche des Osmanischen Reiches um die Jahrhundertwende an (Der kranke Mann am Bosporus), die das Reich zunehmend zu einem Spielball der europäischen Mächte gemacht hatte.
