EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white lithograph captures a pivotal moment in world history: the opening session of the Peace Conference in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles, France, in 1919. The photograph, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris in 1924, shows French Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) presiding over the conference, standing between British Prime Minister David Lloyd George (1863-1945) and American President Woodrow Wilson (1856-1924). The three leaders are surrounded by a sea of delegates from various countries, including Raymond Poincaré (1860-1934), President of France, and Vittorio Orlando (1860-1952), Italian Prime Minister. The Peace Conference was convened to negotiate the peace treaties following the end of the First World War. In this image, Clemenceau can be seen declaring the session open and inviting the German delegates to sign the treaty. The grand setting of the Hall of Mirrors, with its ornate decor and reflective surfaces, serves as a fitting backdrop to this historic moment. The photograph offers a glimpse into the diplomatic efforts of the major powers to shape the postwar world order. The leaders' serious expressions and the attentive posture of the delegates convey the gravity of the situation and the importance of the decisions being made. Overall, this image is a powerful reminder of the political and diplomatic complexities of the early 20th century.
