Vintage photo of former French Prime Minister Rene Viviani (left) and former British Prime Minister Arthur James Balfour (1st Earl of Balfour) sitting together during a summit in Washington DC in 1917. The pair were part of delegations sent to the US for talks by France and Britain after the USA formally entered World War One by declaring war on Germany on April 6 1917. Viviani (1863 - 1925) had previously been Prime Minister of France from June 1914 to October 1915. Balfour (1848 - 1930) was Conservative Prime Minister of the UK from 1902 - 1905 and Foreign Secretary from 1916 - 1919. He also famously authored the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which supported the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Photo by Harris & Ewing.
