EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of the historic Frankfurt Treaty signed on 10 May 1871, marking the end of the Franco-German war. The negotiations between Adolphe Thiers and Otto von Bismarck resulted in significant territorial changes for France. As part of the treaty, France was compelled to cede Alsace and a portion of Lorraine to Germany, while also being burdened with a hefty payment of 5 billion francs. The image captures a moment frozen in time, originally published in "Le Figaro" supplement on March 30th, 1889. It serves as a visual testament to this pivotal event that shaped European history. The French School from the 19th century skillfully crafted this engraving, now preserved within a private collection. Beyond its historical significance, this photograph evokes contemplation about themes such as peace and finance. It reminds us of how political decisions can impact nations' economies and shape their future trajectories. Moreover, it subtly alludes to universal suffrage by showcasing an important chapter when two influential leaders negotiated terms that would have lasting consequences. As we admire this colorful artwork captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, let us reflect upon the complexities inherent in international agreements and appreciate how they continue to shape our world today.
