About the Item

Naval lithograph of Russian fleet arriving in Toulon, France, in 1893 This striking and historically rich lithograph titled Entrée de la Flotte Russe dans la Rade de Toulon captures a key diplomatic moment from the late 19th century: the ceremonial arrival of the Russian naval squadron in the French port of Toulon in 1893. The chromolithograph was published in Paris by Robert Jourdan and is a prime example of the patriotic imagery used to celebrate the Franco-Russian Alliance, a pivotal development in European politics at the time. The scene is set in the bustling harbor of Toulon, where an impressive array of Russian and French naval vessels dominate the water. Each ship is carefully illustrated, many of them firing ceremonial salutes, while smaller boats and onlookers fill the foreground, adding life and movement to the composition. Flags of both nations flutter proudly, reinforcing the message of unity and mutual respect. Surrounding the main image are beautifully rendered portraits of key figures involved in the event. These include Tsar Alexander III of Russia, French President Sadi Carnot, Admiral Avellan (head of the Russian fleet), and French Vice-Admirals de Boissoudy and Vignes. A decorative garland of flowers and national emblems wraps the composition, making this print not just a historical record but also a decorative celebration of military alliance and state ceremony. This lithograph is of particular interest to collectors of naval history, Franco-Russian relations, late 19th-century political art, or Belle Époque imagery. It offers a rare glimpse into how visual propaganda and patriotic sentiment were communicated through printed media at the time. The print’s size, vivid color, and rich detail make it a strong decorative piece, ideal for libraries, offices, or interiors with a historical or maritime theme. Condition report: Well-preserved chromolithograph with strong colors and clear detail. Minor edge wear and light age toning. No tears or folds. Ready for framing. Unframed. Framing tips: Use a dark wood or black frame with a cream or deep navy mat to highlight the vivid colors and historical theme. Museum glass is recommended to protect against light and preserve the print’s integrity.
