EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Le President de la République en Russie; Le yacht 'Alexandria',' depicts a significant historical moment in 1914. The image shows the imperial yacht 'Alexandria' docking at the imperial quay of Peterhof, near St. Petersburg, Russia. On board, we see Emperor Nicholas II of Russia and the French President, Raymond Poincaré, disembarking from the vessel. The two leaders were on an alliance-building mission during the early stages of World War I. Emperor Nicholas II, dressed in a formal naval uniform, stands on the quay, greeting the French President as he steps off the yacht. The Alexandria, a magnificent vessel, is anchored in the background, with its sails furled and men in uniform standing at attention. The image captures the grandeur and political significance of the moment, as the two leaders came together to discuss their countries' strategic alliances and plans for the war. The photograph was published in 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I' by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image is a testament to the political alliances and diplomacy that played a crucial role during the First World War. The scene at Peterhof Palace, with its stunning architecture and beautiful waterfront, serves as a backdrop to this historic meeting between two world leaders.
