EDITORS COMMENTS
This title page depicts a significant moment in history, as the Emperor of Russia visits France to lay the first stone of Pont Alexandre III. The illustration, taken from the illustrated supplement of Le Petit Journal on 18th October 1896, showcases this grand event with vibrant colors and intricate details. The bridge itself is named after Tsar Alexander III, who solidified the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1892. It stands as a symbol of their diplomatic ties and friendship. In this image, we see Nicholas II, son of Alexander III and future ruler himself, participating in this historic ceremony. Set against the backdrop of Paris' iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and River Seine, this scene exudes elegance and power. Military uniforms dotting the landscape add an air of authority while tricolor flags flutter proudly above. This title page not only captures a momentous occasion but also serves as a testament to political alliances during that era. It encapsulates both Russian influence abroad and French hospitality towards their esteemed guests. Preserved within private collections today, this color lithograph remains an invaluable piece for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Its significance lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when international relations were forged through symbolic gestures like laying foundation stones for bridges connecting nations.
