EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Russian envoy Sergei Witte is seen boarding a launch that will take him to the presidential yacht Mayflower in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, United States of America, in 1905. Witte, dressed in a formal suit and hat, is accompanied by U.S. Secret Service agent William Flynn, who is positioned at the far right of the image, wearing a light-colored hat. The historic event took place during the Peace Talks of Portsmouth, where Witte and Japanese diplomat Komura Jutaro negotiated the Treaty of Portsmouth, which officially ended the Russo-Japanese War. The Treaty of Portsmouth is considered a significant milestone in international relations, as it marked the first time that an Asian power had defeated a European power in war. Sergei Yulyevich Witte (1849-1915) was a prominent Russian statesman and economist who served as Russia's Finance Minister and Prime Minister. His diplomatic efforts during the peace talks were instrumental in securing a favorable peace settlement for Russia, which helped to maintain the country's position as a major world power. The image captures a moment of transition, as Witte leaves the land and sets sail towards the Mayflower, symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter in international diplomacy. The photograph is a testament to the rich political history of the early 20th century and the enduring legacy of the Treaty of Portsmouth. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, particularly those related to international diplomacy, politics, and the Russo-Japanese War. It offers a glimpse into the past and provides insight into the people and events that shaped the world we live in today.
