EDITORS COMMENTS
The historic moment captured in this print takes us back to the year 1900, when President Kruger of South Africa arrived at the Gare de Lyon in Paris. The image, originally published in Le Petit Journal on December 9th of that year, depicts a coloured engraving showcasing this significant event. President Kruger's visit to Paris was aimed at garnering support for the Boers during the Boer War. As he steps off the train, surrounded by French hosts and well-wishers, one can sense both anticipation and hope in the air. This illustration beautifully captures the atmosphere of this important diplomatic mission. The artist behind this piece remains unknown but their attention to detail is evident. From President Kruger's dignified presence to the bustling crowd eagerly awaiting his arrival, every element has been meticulously rendered. This photograph print serves as a reminder of an era marked by political tensions and international diplomacy. It also highlights Paul (1825-1904), who played a crucial role as a peacemaker during these turbulent times. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age where world leaders embarked on journeys across continents seeking alliances and support. It is through such images that we gain insight into our past and appreciate how far we have come since then.
