EDITORS COMMENTS
Latin America Against Germany: A Historic Moment in the Brazilian Senate, Rio de Janeiro, October 26, 1917 This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Brazilian Senate during the First World War, as prominent statesman Ruy Barbosa delivered a passionate speech advocating for Brazil's opposition to Germany. The session, held in Rio de Janeiro, saw no opposition to Barbosa's stance, making it a significant turning point in Brazil's diplomatic stance during the conflict. The image, taken from the pages of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, depicts a group of men intently listening to Barbosa's speech. Dressed in formal attire, they sit attentively, some with pens in hand, indicating their role as commissaries or writers documenting the event. The atmosphere is serious and focused, with the room bathed in the soft, even light of an indoor setting. Ruy Barbosa de Oliveira (1849-1923), a Brazilian politician, diplomat, and writer, was a key figure in Brazilian politics during this period. His eloquent speeches and strong convictions played a crucial role in shaping Brazil's stance during the First World War. In this session, he found no opponent to his call for Brazil to join the Allied Powers and oppose Germany. This photograph is a testament to the historic moment in Latin American and world history, as countries made their diplomatic stands during the First World War. The image, though devoid of color, is rich in detail and emotion, capturing the gravity of the situation and the unwavering resolve of the men present.
