EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as a senior member of staff steps out of the Council of Europe headquarters in Strasbourg, France, in January 1956. Located in the heart of Europe, the Council of Europe is an international organization founded in 1949 to promote unity and cooperation among European countries. The image portrays the elegance and sophistication of the early 1950s, with the woman wearing a chic skirt suit and carrying a briefcase. The grandeur of the Council of Europe's entrance is emphasized by the ornate columns, intricate stonework, and the imposing steps leading up to the entrance. The scene is set against a wintry backdrop, with the barren trees and gray sky adding to the sense of history and importance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when diplomacy and international cooperation were at the forefront of European politics. This image is a poignant reminder of the Council of Europe's rich history and its ongoing commitment to building a united Europe.
