This print captures a historic moment in naval history as a Russian naval squadron visits the port of Toulon, France. The vibrant color lithograph by Henri Meyer beautifully depicts Admiral Boissoudy warmly welcoming Admiral Avelan, commander of the Russian squadron, on board his flagship, the Formidable. The image showcases the strong alliance between Russia and France during the late 19th century. The French fleet stands proudly in the background, symbolizing their military might and unity with their Russian allies. Sailors in impeccable naval uniforms line up to witness this significant reception ceremony at sea. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and respect as both admirals exchange salutes amidst a backdrop of sparkling Mediterranean waters. The formidable battleship serves as an impressive stage for this diplomatic encounter. Transportation plays a crucial role in this scene, with boats and tugboats surrounding the warships.

This rare glimpse into history offers us insight into international relations during that era while showcasing French culture through its grand ceremonies and traditions. With every detail meticulously captured by Meyer's skilled hand, this print transports us back to a time when alliances were forged at sea amidst pomp and circumstance.
