EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Count Alexander Petrovich Izvolsky (1856-1919), a prominent Russian diplomat and statesman, aboard the luxurious British ocean liner, Pole Star, in 1909. At the time of this image, Izvolsky held the esteemed position of Russian Foreign Minister. He is remembered as a major architect of Russia's alliance with the British Empire during the years leading to the outbreak of the First World War, an alliance that came to be known as the Anglo-Russian Entente or Triple Entente. Izvolsky's diplomatic prowess and strategic vision played a significant role in shaping international relations during a critical period in world history. His efforts to strengthen the alliance between Russia and Britain were aimed at countering the growing power of Germany and Austria-Hungary. This photograph, taken during a diplomatic mission to England, offers a glimpse into the personal side of this influential statesman, showcasing his refined elegance and the opulence of the early 20th century maritime travel. The Anglo-Russian Entente marked a turning point in international relations, paving the way for the eventual involvement of Russia, France, and Britain in the First World War. Izvolsky's diplomatic achievements continue to be studied and celebrated, making this photograph an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of diplomacy, international relations, and the early 20th century.
