EDITORS COMMENTS
Le retour a la paix; Les delegues ottomans sur la plage arrière du cuirasse français" (The return to peace; The Ottoman delegates on the rear beach of the French battleship), 1919, is an evocative photograph from the aftermath of the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a pivotal moment in the history of the Ottoman Empire as its delegates prepare to embark on a journey to France to receive the conditions of peace made for their country. In the photograph, several distinguished Ottoman figures, including Damat Ferid Pasha, Grand Vizier Mehmed Adil Ferid, Mehmed Tevfik Bey, Riza Tevfik Bey, Reza Tevfik Bey, Halis Resat, and Mehmet Tevfik Biren, are seen gathered on the beach, surrounded by their entourage. They are standing near a French warship, likely the one that will transport them to Europe. The delegates, dressed in formal attire, appear deep in conversation, perhaps discussing the impending negotiations. The Treaty of Sevres, signed on August 10, 1920, would ultimately bring an end to the Ottoman Empire as it was known, leading to the creation of modern Turkey. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the political landscape of the time, providing a visual record of the Ottoman delegates' journey to France and the beginning of a new era for the region. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its historical intrigue. This image is a poignant reminder of the diplomatic efforts that shaped the postwar world and the significant role that travel and transportation played in shaping international relations during the early 20th century.
