EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the infamous Zimmermann telegram, a significant document from 1917 during World War I. The Western Union copy of the telegram was sent on January 19 by Count Bernstorff, the German Ambassador at Washington, D. C. , to the German Imperial Minister in Mexico City. The photograph captures this historical communication piece with utmost clarity and detail. The paper bears witness to an era when global powers were embroiled in conflict and secret alliances shaped destinies. Alfred Zimmermann's name is etched onto this artifact, reminding us of his involvement in this pivotal moment. As we gaze upon this aged note, we are transported back to a time when telegrams were a primary means of long-distance communication.
