This print of Versailles, taken in 1919, offers a glimpse into the historical significance of this iconic French palace. Serving as the German army headquarters from September 1870 to the conclusion of peace in 1871, Versailles witnessed pivotal moments in European history. It was here that King William was proclaimed German Emperor and where the Capitulation of Paris was signed. Following the war, Versailles became the seat of the French Government until 1879. The image showcases its grandeur and architectural beauty against a monochrome backdrop, emphasizing its timeless allure. The photograph is sourced from "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects" by W. Stanley Macbean Knight, published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London in 1919. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported back to an era defined by conflict and diplomacy.
