EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the 19th century showcases a Franco-Russian lottery game, depicting an intriguing blend of history, culture, and camaraderie. Published by Pellerin & Cie's Imagerie D'Epinal, this print transports us to a time when alliances between nations were celebrated through playful pastimes. In this vibrant artwork, we witness soldiers in their distinguished military uniforms engaging in the lottery game alongside prominent figures from both France and Russia. The image captures the essence of friendship and cooperation between these two powerful nations during that era. The presence of royalty is evident as we spot portraits of Emperor Alexander III and his family – Empress Tsarina Maria Feodorovna, Tsarevich Nicholas II, Grand Duke Alexis Romanov – symbolizing the close ties shared by monarchies across Europe. Additionally, French President Sadi Carnot adds another layer of political significance to this historical tableau. Warships dotting the background remind us of the military might possessed by these allies. This visual representation highlights not only their naval strength but also their commitment to maintaining peace within Europe and beyond. As we delve into this intricate scene filled with players eagerly participating in the lottery game, it becomes clear that this print serves as a testament to unity amidst diversity. It celebrates cultural exchange between Asia (represented by Asian individuals) and European powers like France and Russia. Overall, this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into an era where diplomacy was fostered through friendly interactions such as lotteries -
