This evocative black-and-white print captures the historic moment of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. The scene unfolds in the opulent Galerie des Glaces at the Palace of Versailles, where British Prime Minister David Lloyd George sits at the head of the table, pen in hand, signing the peace documents that would officially end the First World War. Surrounding him are the chief representatives of the Great Powers, including Arthur Balfour and Andrew Bonar Law of the United Kingdom, Lord Milner, Billy Hughes of Australia, General Jan Smuts and General Louis Botha of South Africa. M. Dutasta, the Secretary-General of the Conference, and his co-secretary, M. Arnavor, are also present. The table used for the signing was taken from the historic chateau collection, adding to the grandeur of the occasion. The Treaty of Versailles marked a significant turning point in world history, shaping the political landscape for decades to come. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact of the First World War and the diplomacy that followed.
