EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic print captures the momentous occasion of the signing of the Preliminary peace treaty on 26 February 1871 in Versailles, marking the end of the Franco-Prussian war. The image showcases representatives from both sides, symbolizing a significant step towards reconciliation and peace. On one side, we see Mr. Adolphe Thiers, head of the executive power of the Republic, and Mr. Jules Favre, Minister for Foreign Affairs - representing France's interests and aspirations for stability after a devastating conflict. On the other side stands an imposing figure: Mr. Count Otto de Bismarck Schoenhausen, Chancellor of the German Empire and bearer of full powers bestowed upon him by His Majesty the Emperor of Germany, King of Prussia. Bismarck's presence signifies not only his role as a key negotiator but also Germany's triumph in this war. The composition highlights both unity and tension between these two nations at this critical juncture in history. The setting itself adds to its significance; Versailles serves as a poignant backdrop with its grandeur and historical weight. This print allows us to witness an important chapter in European history when bitter enemies came together to forge a path towards lasting peace. It reminds us that even amidst conflict and animosity, diplomacy can prevail if there is willingness on all sides to find common ground.
