"Tsar Nicolas II 1894-1917 in Paris from Le Petit Journal 11 October 1896" is an illustration by French artist Henri Meyer, featured in the popular French newspaper Le Petit Journal. The image commemorates the visit of Tsar Nicholas II of Russia to Paris in 1896, an event that marked a significant moment in Franco-Russian relations during the prelude to the 20th century. The illustration captures the grandeur and diplomatic importance of the Tsar's visit, reflecting the era's fascination with royalty and international alliances.

Henri Meyer, known for his detailed and often colorful illustrations, contributed to the widespread dissemination of current events through the visual medium in a time when photography was not yet widely used in newspapers. His work in Le Petit Journal, which was one of the first French newspapers to include illustrations, helped to inform and engage the public with both national and international news.

The visit of Tsar Nicholas II to Paris was part of a series of reciprocal visits between French and Russian heads of state, following the signing of the Franco-Russian Alliance in 1894. This alliance was crucial for both countries, as it provided France with a powerful ally against the German Empire and gave Russia support against the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The Tsar's visit to Paris was a highly orchestrated affair, filled with pomp and ceremony, designed to cement the bonds between the two nations and to demonstrate their combined strength to the rest of Europe.

The illustration by Henri Meyer not only serves as a historical record of this significant event but also as an artifact of the period's journalistic and artistic practices. It is a testament to the role of visual media in shaping public perception and the understanding of contemporary events at the turn of the century.
