EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of camaraderie and diplomacy between the officers of HMS "Melita" and the Russian Authorities in Odessa. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this historical print showcases a significant event during that time. In the image, we see distinguished figures such as the governor, press censor, mayor of Odessa, commander Fraser, royal navy officers, surgeon, Mr. Plaksine, Lieutenant Alston, Act Colonel General Mackie, Police Master Shan Girei, Paymaster Koe and many others. They are gathered together to celebrate and be entertained by their Russian counterparts. The atmosphere is one of cordiality and mutual respect as these representatives from both naval forces come together to foster diplomatic relations. The presence of armed forces personnel highlights the importance placed on maintaining peaceful alliances during this era. This photograph not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to international cooperation amidst political tensions. It offers us a glimpse into history when photography was still in its early stages but already being utilized for documentation purposes. Preserved within a private collection until now, this image allows us to appreciate the significance of cultural exchange and diplomacy through visual storytelling.
