‘Here’s to the next ten years …’ On 23 January 1973, German cartoonist Horst Haitzinger illustrates the tenth anniversary of the signing of the Élysée Treaty, with French President Georges Pompidou (on the left) and Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt (on the right) toasting the next ten years of Franco-German cooperation. The shadow cast on the wall is not that of the Franco-German duo of 1973, but of the signatories of 1963, President de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer; this emphasises the continuity of cooperation between France and the Federal Republic of Germany.
