EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historic print captures a momentous occasion in the late 19th century - Tsar Nicholas II's visit to France. The colour lithograph showcases the ceremony of laying the foundation stone of the iconic Pont Alexandre III in Paris, symbolizing the strong alliance between France and Russia. The image portrays an atmosphere of grandeur and friendship as French and Russian dignitaries gather for this significant event. Among them is Felix Faure, the President of France at that time, who warmly welcomes Emperor Nicholas II on his royal visit to Paris. The bridge itself stands as a magnificent architectural marvel, spanning across Europe and Asia with its elegant design. It represents not only a physical connection but also signifies the bond between two nations. In this scene, we witness history unfolding before our eyes - a moment where politics intertwine with royalty, bridging cultures from different corners of the world. The presence of both European and Asian figures highlights the global significance of this event. Through this remarkable photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary chapter in international relations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political complexities, friendships can be forged through diplomacy and shared values.
