EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the International War Congress held in Brussels, July-August 1874. Delegates from 15 European states gathered to discuss and deliberate on the draft of an International Declaration on the Laws and Customs of War. The image, originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'908 on September 5,1874, showcases the gravity of this assembly. The congress was a pivotal event that aimed to establish guidelines and regulations for warfare between nations. In an era marked by frequent conflicts and devastating wars, these delegates sought to create a framework that would mitigate human suffering during times of armed conflict. The engraving depicts a diverse group of diplomats engaged in intense discussions around a large table. Their expressions reveal their dedication towards finding common ground amidst differing perspectives. Each delegate represents their respective nation's interests while simultaneously working towards collective progress. This historical print serves as a testament to humanity's ongoing pursuit for peace even during tumultuous times. It reminds us that diplomacy can bridge divides and foster understanding among nations. As we reflect upon this image today, it prompts us to consider how far we have come since then and how much further we still have to go in ensuring peaceful coexistence worldwide.
