EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment during the Russian Imperial Family's visit to Paris in 1896. Tsarina Alexandra of Russia, also known as Empress Alexandra Feodorovna or Alix of Hesse, is seen inviting the widow of French President Sadi Carnot to kiss her daughter, Grand Duchess Olga. The image showcases the diplomatic and personal connections between these two powerful families from different nations. It symbolizes an alliance and friendship that transcends borders and politics. The tsarina's gesture reflects her warmth and generosity towards Madame Carnot, who is dressed in mourning attire. Grand Duchess Olga stands by her mother's side, looking innocent yet regal in her elegant dress. The young girl represents the future generation of this royal family, bridging cultures through her presence. The historical significance of this moment cannot be understated. It highlights the interconnectedness of Europe and Asia during this late 19th-century period. The photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst political tensions and alliances, human connections can prevail. This engraving was originally published in Le Petit Parisien on October 25th, 1896 – a testament to its importance at that time. Preserved in private collection today, it continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of unity across nations and generations.
