EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured lantern slide presents a striking image of The Triple Entente, an alliance formed between Great Britain, France, and Russia in 1907. The slide features the British Union Flag, the French Tricolour, and a flag displaying the Russian coat of arms. This alliance acted as a powerful counterweight to the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy, which dominated European politics at the turn of the 20th century. The Triple Entente was a significant development in European diplomacy, as it marked the first formal agreement between these three major powers. The alliance was primarily aimed at countering the military and political influence of the Triple Alliance, and it helped to maintain the balance of power in Europe during a time of increasing tensions. The lantern slide, part of Box 195 entitled "Curtains & Flags" and dating from circa 1911, offers a glimpse into the political climate of the early 1900s. The slide, which is approximately 10 inches by 8 inches in size, would have been used in lantern slide projectors to illustrate lectures or presentations. The use of coloured lantern slides added visual interest and helped to engage audiences. The Triple Entente remained in place until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, when the alliance was put to the test. The alliance proved to be a crucial factor in the eventual victory of the Allied Powers, and it marked the beginning of a new era in European politics. This lantern slide is an important historical artifact that provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in European history.
