Beginning Brass Breaking Departure Diplomatic Embassy Lichnowsky Outbreak Relations Relationship Removal Removed Start
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in world history: the removal of the brass plate at the German Embassy in London, signaling the breakdown of diplomatic relations between Germany and Britain at the outbreak of World War One. The image was taken in August 1914, following the departure of Prince Lichnowsky, the German Ambassador, on the 6th of that month. The brass plate, bearing the inscription "Deutsches Reich," had been a symbol of the diplomatic relationship between the two nations. Its removal marked the beginning of a conflict that would last for over four years and reshape the political landscape of Europe and the world. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of diplomatic relations and their fragility in times of crisis.
