1890年3月29日首次发表在英国杂志《Punch》的原画

丢下领航员》(英语:Dropping the Pilot)是约翰·坦尼尔的一幅政治漫画,于1890年3月29日首次发表在英国杂志《Punch》上[1]。它描绘了奥托·冯·俾斯麦作为一名海上领航员走下一艘船,旁边是年轻的皇帝威廉二世。这幅漫画取材于船可能是受柏拉图将国家比做船的比喻影响。由于政治分歧,俾斯麦在10天前的3月19日应威廉的要求辞去了帝国总理的职务[2][3]

漫画出版后,坦尼尔收到了第五代罗斯伯里伯爵普里姆罗斯的委托,要求他制作一份副本寄给俾斯麦本人。据报导,这位前总理回答说:“这画画得很好”[4]

这幅漫画在德国广为人知,经常出现在历史教科书和教科书中,标题是《领航员离船》(德语:Der lotse geht von Bord[5]
