EDITORS COMMENTS
Le President de la Republique en Russie; M Poincare et l'Empereur" is a captivating photograph capturing a significant moment in international politics during the First World War. The image, taken in 1914, depicts French President Raymond Poincaré and Russian Emperor Nicholas II disembarking from their respective vessels at Peterhof, a grand palace complex located on the Gulf of Finland near Saint Petersburg, Russia. At the time, France and Russia were strong allies in the ongoing conflict against the Central Powers, with Emperor Nicholas II and his family playing a crucial role in the Eastern Front. Poincare's visit to Russia was an essential demonstration of the alliance between the two nations and their commitment to the common cause. The photograph captures the two leaders, dressed in formal attire, stepping onto the quayside, surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. Emperor Nicholas II, wearing his military uniform, is seen with his son and heir, Tsarevich Nicholas, while Poincaré is accompanied by other French dignitaries. The imperial yacht, the Standart, and the French cruiser Dupetit-Thouars can be seen in the background, anchored in the harbor. The image is a testament to the political dynamics of the time, with the two leaders engaging in a friendly exchange before embarking on a tour of Petrograd (now Saint Petersburg) and other parts of Russia. The photograph is an essential historical document, offering a unique glimpse into the diplomacy and alliances that shaped the First World War. The photograph is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume I" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The creator of the image remains unknown, adding to its mystery and historical intrigue. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the political landscape of the early 20th century and the complex relationships between world powers during the First World War.
