EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in Parisian history - the reception of the Russians at the Military Club. Taken by a French photographer in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The photograph was featured as an illustration for Beautiful Paris, a publication that showcased over 400 views of the city taken by Mr A Pepper, who was the official photographer of the French Government at that time. The scene depicted in this image showcases an elegant gathering held at the Military Club to welcome Russian guests. It offers us a glimpse into Parisian society during fin de siècle, specifically October 1893. The event symbolizes not only diplomatic relations between France and Russia but also highlights French culture and its influence on international affairs. Although limited information about "Mr A Pepper" could be found, his skillful composition allows viewers to appreciate both historical significance and artistic value within this photograph. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it serves as a reminder of how photography can immortalize moments that would otherwise fade away with time. This particular print is now preserved by Bridgeman Images and provides us with an opportunity to explore France's rich past through visual storytelling.
