1905: The Path to Peace - Unseen Moments of the Portsmouth Peace Conference Amidst the backdrop of the historic Portsmouth Peace Conference, where two nations, Russia and Japan, came together to end their war, several intriguing moments unfolded. Unknown photographers captured candid scenes of key figures involved in the negotiations. Two Japanese men and an American man, possibly journalists, engage in deep conversation on a veranda. Three Japanese men, possibly journalists, share a moment of contemplation on the steps of a gazebo. The Russian peace commission arrives at Portsmouth, ready to begin talks. Prominent figures like Kogoro Takahira and Jutaro Komura, Japanese envoys, prepare for negotiations with their staff. Baron de Rosen departs from Yokohama, likely en route to the conference. Serge Witte, the Russian statesman instrumental in the peace process, takes a leisurely Sunday morning walk with his staff. Witte, a key player in the negotiations, is seen in various settings - in his room at the Wentworth Hotel and leaving the hotel. Lieut. Com. Takeshita, a Japanese naval officer, is also present at the conference. The peace conference in session unfolds in a series of captivating views. Witte's departure marks the end of a significant chapter in international relations.
