EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph captures a significant moment in history as the French naval squadron transports President Loubet on his visit to Russia, departing from the port of Brest. The image showcases the impressive armoured cruiser Montcalm leading the fleet, with President Loubet aboard, followed by the Guichen and other ships from the Northern fleet. Published in Le Petit Parisien (Supplement Litteraire Illustre) on May 18th, 1902, this illustration symbolizes the Franco-Russian alliance during that era. As President Loubet waves to onlookers from one of the warships' decks, crowds gather along clifftops and shores to bid farewell to their leader embarking on this important state visit. The English Channel serves as a backdrop for this historic departure scene. The sight of these mighty vessels sailing through international waters evokes a sense of pride and strength within France's navy and armed forces. With guns mounted prominently on each ship's deck, they are ready for any potential combat or defense duties that may arise during their voyage. Emile Loubet's journey marks an essential diplomatic mission between France and Russia at that time. This print not only captures a specific moment but also represents an era when nations sought alliances through such high-profile visits. It is a testament to both French culture and naval prowess while showcasing Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical artwork for future generations.
