EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard captures a historic moment in international relations between Italy and the Ottoman Empire, commemorating the signing of the First Treaty of Lausanne in October 1912. In the image, King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy (1869-1947) and Sultan Mehmed V Resad (Reshad) of the Ottoman Empire (1844-1918) are depicted in deep conversation, symbolizing the negotiations that led to the agreement. The Treaty of Lausanne, also known as the Treaty of Ouchy, marked a significant step towards resolving the Libyan conflict between the two powers. The Ottoman Empire agreed to withdraw all military forces and administrative agents from Libya, paving the way for Italian control over the region. The flags of Italy and the Ottoman Empire, prominently displayed, underscore the political significance of the meeting. This poignant snapshot of history serves as a reminder of the diplomatic efforts that have shaped the modern world.
