EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph taken by Harris & Ewing in 1917, some of the most important figures of the Allied powers are seen strolling about the grounds of George Washington's Mount Vernon estate in Fairfax County, Virginia, United States. The group includes US diplomat Robert Lansing, French justice minister Rene Viviani, British foreign secretary Arthur Balfour, and General Joseph Joffre of the French army, as well as Paul Chocheprat of the French navy. The visit to Mount Vernon marked a significant moment in international relations during the First World War. The Allied leaders were touring the United States to seek support for the ongoing conflict in Europe. The image captures a relaxed moment amidst the diplomatic negotiations, with the men in formal attire, some wearing hats, and enjoying the picturesque surroundings. The photograph, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the historical significance of the meeting. The leaders are seen standing in front of the iconic white house and other buildings, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful gardens. The visit to Mount Vernon served as a symbol of unity and cooperation between the Allied powers during a critical time in world history. The photograph features a mix of political and military figures, including Arthur James Balfour, the 1st Earl of Balfour, who later played a crucial role in the signing of the Balfour Declaration in 1917, which paved the way for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the diplomatic landscape of the early 20th century and the complex web of international relations during the First World War.
