EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, depicting the nations of Europe coming together in harmony and unity. The year is 1897, a time when tensions were high and conflicts ravaged various regions. However, amidst this backdrop of turmoil, an extraordinary event unfolded. In this enchanting scene, we witness Spain, Italy, France, Russia, Austria, and Germany joining forces as a symphony orchestra to perform the hymn to peace. Their instruments resonate with melodies that transcend borders and languages. But what makes this performance truly unique is the accompaniment provided by the war dances of Greeks and Turks from Macedonia. The image symbolizes an allegory for hope and reconciliation. It represents a collective effort to bridge divides between nations that have historically been at odds with one another. Through music and dance – universal languages of expression – these diverse cultures find common ground. Henri Meyer's engraving in "Le petit journal" immortalizes this poignant moment forever. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical artifact which serves as a testament to humanity's enduring pursuit of peace even during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's collection today, it reminds us that despite our differences or past grievances, there is always room for understanding and collaboration among nations. It stands as a powerful reminder that through artistry and shared experiences like music and dance, we can strive towards building bridges rather than walls in our quest for lasting peace.
