EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time as Alexander I and Napoleon take the first steps towards a general state of peace. The image, beautifully depicted through a colour engraving by Christian Gottfried Geissler, showcases the meeting between these two influential figures on 26th June 1807. In this scene, we witness the convergence of power and diplomacy as Emperor Alexander Pavlovich of Russia and French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte come together to discuss the Tilsit Treaty and end the War of Partition. Standing on a jetty overlooking a serene river, surrounded by soldiers who symbolize their respective nations, they engage in an important dialogue that would shape European history. The composition radiates with significance as both leaders extend their hands for a greeting, signifying their willingness to find common ground amidst political tensions. Their expressions reveal determination mixed with cautious optimism as they embark on this crucial journey towards establishing peace. Preserved within Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this artwork serves as a testament to the power of diplomacy and negotiation during times of conflict. It reminds us that even amidst strife and differences, there is always room for dialogue and understanding. Through this remarkable print captured by Geissler's skilled hand, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when two great powers took tentative steps towards forging an alliance that would ultimately shape the course of history.
