"Pichon: A Witness to History" Step into the world of Pichon, a name intertwined with significant moments in history. From the grand halls of the Palace of Versailles during the Peace Conference and Treaty of Versailles in 1919, to the solemn procession of Saint Charles Borromeo amidst the plague-stricken streets of Milan in 1861, it has been there. Delve into M le baron Pichon's remarkable collection, where an engraving reveals a bustling card factory under Louis XIV's reign. Another engraving transports us back to 1770, as we traverse through a vaulted passage beneath Petit Chatelet between Rue Saint-Jacques and Petit-Pont. Pichon himself served as Minister of Foreign Affairs, captured forever in a colored photograph. His influence extended beyond borders; he played an integral role alongside Woodrow Wilson and Raymond Poincar at meetings held within Quai D Orsay's French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Its elegance stands as a testament to France's rich heritage. Finally, celebrate Czechoslovakia's recognition in 1918 - an important milestone on their path towards independence - another chapter witnessed by Pichon. Through engravings and photographs alike, step into Pichon’s world – one filled with diplomacy, resilience against adversity, cultural treasures, and moments that have left indelible marks on our collective memory.
