And on the back:

The Emperor unveiled the monument in the presence of a great number of
German Princes and nobles, all of whom laid wreaths at the foot of the
monument.

In consequence of the recent troubles over his "revelations," Prince
Bismarck was not invited to take part in the ceremonies. Many people
thought the young Emperor should have invited him in spite of everything;
but the people of Germany did not forget the man who had done so much for
them, and throughout the entire day telegrams and messages were showered
upon the old Iron Chancellor, by those who appreciated all he had done for
their country.
