EDITORS COMMENTS
A Conference in London, 4th November 1830: A Historical Gathering of Plenipotentiaries". This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the conference held in London on the 4th of November, 1830. Painted by an anonymous Belgian artist from the 19th century, this print showcases a gathering of plenipotentiaries from France, Great Britain, and Austria at Musee de l'Armee in Brussels, Belgium. The scene is filled with symbolism and allegory as ministers are depicted with animal heads. Talleyrand represents France while Matuszewic stands for Russia. Palmerston embodies England alongside other notable figures such as Esterhazy for Austria. Each minister's animal head personifies their country's characteristics and political stance. Amidst discussions about important matters like Poland being trampled by the Russian bear, decisions made during this conference faced criticism from both Belgian and Dutch representatives. The image also features a horse named Von Bulow representing Prussia. This engraving serves as a satirical caricature that cleverly portrays political dynamics through wildlife imagery. Monkeys, bears, foxes, hares - all play their part in conveying complex diplomatic relationships within Europe during this era. Preserved by Patrick Lorette and now available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection; this historical print offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into the past where animals take center stage to symbolize power struggles between nations.
