EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the First World War: the signing of the Armistice of Brest-Litovsk on December 15, 1917. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, shows the delegates of the Central Powers, led by Field Marshal Hermann von Eichhorn, seated on the left. Across the table, the maximalist delegation of the Russian Republic, chaired by Mikhail Ioffe, is represented by the men on the right. The Prince of Bavaria, Leopold Maximilian Joseph Maria Arnulf, presides over the proceedings. The scene is set in a grand, ornate room filled with heavy furniture and adorned with intricate detailing. The atmosphere is tense as the men, deep in negotiations, exchange papers and discuss the terms of the armistice. The Eastern Front, a major theater of war during the First World War, was dissolving, with this agreement marking a significant step towards peace. The image, a testament to the historic event, transports us back to a time of political upheaval and military strategy.
