In this captivating collection of images, we catch a glimpse of the historical significance and profound impact that peace conferences have had throughout history. One photograph takes us back to the year 1861, where Hon. Thomas Jr Ewing stands as a delegate at the peace convention held in Washington D. C. During a tumultuous period between 1865 and 1880. The creator of this image remains unknown, but its power lies in capturing the determination and hope for resolution that these delegates carried within them. Fast forward to 1919, President Poincare delivers his opening address at the Peace Conference on the Quai d'Orsay. In black and white, this photo carries an air of solemnity as world leaders gather to discuss ways to restore harmony after World War I ravaged nations. "The lamb from the slaughter" is depicted through an ink over graphite artwork from that same year - a poignant reminder of innocence lost amidst conflict. It serves as a haunting symbol urging those present at the conference to strive for lasting peace. As delegates leave Quai d'Orsay in Paris, their expressions reveal both weariness and determination etched upon their faces - evidence of long hours spent negotiating towards common ground during this crucial moment in history. The iconic image captures Clemenceau, Wilson, and Lloyd George leaving Versailles after signing what would become known as one of history's most significant treaties: The Treaty of Versailles. This symbolic departure signifies not only their personal involvement but also represents countless lives affected by war who now look towards these leaders with newfound hope for stability. John Maynard Keynes appears before us in another black-and-white portrait; his intellectual prowess played an influential role during post-war negotiations. His ideas shaped economic policies aimed at rebuilding shattered economies while ensuring future prosperity. Moving away from France's borders, we witness Queen Wilhelmina warmly receiving delegates at The Hague Peace Conference in Switzerland (1899).
