EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of the reception of Russian General Chertkov at the Gare du Nord in Paris. The image, created by a French School artist in the 19th century, showcases a significant diplomatic event between France and Russia. General Chertkov was sent as a special envoy to formally inform the French government about Tsar Nicholas II's accession to the throne. As he steps off his train, he is greeted with great honor and respect by a guard of honour. Dressed in his impressive military uniform, General Chertkov stands tall and salutes as soldiers pay their respects. The scene depicts an alliance between two powerful nations - France and Russia - symbolizing their strong bond during this era. The franco-Russian alliance is evident through this grand reception at one of Paris' most iconic railway stations. The embassy building can be seen in the background, representing both countries' commitment to maintaining diplomatic relations. This momentous occasion not only highlights political diplomacy but also cultural exchange between these nations. Through this beautifully restored print, we are transported back to January 6th, 1895 when history was made at Gare du Nord. It serves as a reminder of the importance of international relationships and how they shape our world today.
