EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Russians leaving Portsmouth, 1905," by Nathan Lazarnick, offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in international history. The image depicts a group of Russians, including Baron Roman Rosen (Rosen Romanovich) and Count Sergei Witte, waving their hats from the back of an open-topped automobile as they depart from Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the United States. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the peaceful Portsmouth Harbor, with the American flag flying proudly in the foreground. The Russians' departure marked the conclusion of the Portsmouth Peace Conference, where they had been negotiating an end to the Russo-Japanese War. The conference, held from August to September 1905, was a significant diplomatic achievement, as it resulted in the Treaty of Portsmouth, which officially ended the war and brought peace between Russia and Japan. Standing at the far right of the photograph is U.S. Secret Service Agent Albert Ernest Gallagher, wearing a light-colored hat. Gallagher's presence underscores the international significance of the event, as the United States played a crucial role in facilitating the peace talks. This photograph is a testament to the power of diplomacy and the ability of nations to come together to resolve conflicts peacefully. It is an essential piece of historical art that captures the essence of the Meeting of Frontiers, a term coined by historian Frederick Jackson Turner to describe the encounters between different cultures and societies as they expanded westward. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs and a reminder of the rich heritage of diplomacy and international relations.
