EDITORS COMMENTS
This iconic print captures a historic moment in international diplomacy, as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev sit side by side, signing a peace agreement at the conclusion of a summit in Geneva, Switzerland. The tension of the Cold War era seems to melt away in this image, as these two powerful leaders come together to work towards peace.
Seated next to them are US Secretary of State George Schultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze, representing their respective countries during this pivotal moment. The date is etched into history: November 21st, 1985.
The body language of all those present speaks volumes - there is a sense of mutual respect and understanding that transcends political differences. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in times of great conflict, dialogue and diplomacy can pave the way for progress and cooperation.
As we look back on this snapshot from the 1980s, we are reminded of the importance of communication and compromise in resolving global conflicts. It stands as a testament to the power of peaceful negotiations in shaping our shared future.
