EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in 1929, the signing of the accord between the Vatican and Italy. Known as the Lateran Treaty, this agreement marked a significant milestone in diplomatic relations between these two entities. The treaty recognized Vatican City as an independent state and was negotiated by Pietro Gasparri, a prominent diplomat and politician who served as Cardinal Secretary of State for the Vatican. The image showcases Pope Pius XI signing the document alongside Cardinal Gasparri, both figures exuding gravitas and significance. Their presence symbolizes not only their roles within Catholicism but also their political influence during this era. Featured on the front cover of "Le Petit Journal Illustre" a renowned French newspaper at that time, this photograph highlights its importance to global news coverage. The vibrant colors and meticulous graphic design draw attention to this pivotal event in history. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder of how religion intersects with politics and diplomacy. It represents an era when territorial disputes were resolved through legal agreements rather than conflict. The unknown creator of this print has expertly captured not just individuals signing a piece of paper but also an entire chapter in history unfolding before our eyes. This image is truly invaluable for its historical significance and visual impact alike.
