EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "M Aristide Briand et M Alexandre Lahovary, ministre de Roumanie a Paris" and dated 1916, captures a significant diplomatic moment during the tumultuous period of the First World War. The image, from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," depicts two prominent figures of the time: Aristide Pierre Henri Briand, a French statesman and politician who served as the Prime Minister of France from 1906 to 1909 and again from 1913 to 1915, and Alexandre Lahovary, the Romanian Minister to France. Both men are dressed in the fashion of the early 20th century, with Briand wearing a formal suit and Lahovary donning a straw boater hat and a more casual, yet elegant, summer outfit. The location of the meeting is not explicitly stated, but the backdrop of Parisian streets and buildings suggests a meeting in the heart of the French capital. The meeting between these two political heavyweights likely held great significance during the Balkan Crisis of World War I, as Romania was a key player in the region and France was a major European power. The diplomatic discussions between Briand and Lahovary may have contributed to the eventual entry of Romania into the war on the side of the Allies in August 1916. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a glimpse into the fashion, politics, and diplomacy of the First World War era. The unknown photographer expertly captured the essence of the moment, making this image a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of the 20th century.
