DescriptionFebruary 14, 1919"And what a Valentine was presented to the world today." pg. 209
"I was pinned in so tight that there was no room to move my arms. Push forward against, and half under, a curtain that crackled at every move, and on the other side of which was a Jap secretary standing, leaning against it and taking advantage of every move I made, the situation was hopeless, and the few slight sketches that I made were futile, it seemed to me. But what could one do?" pg. 212
"But it was a great day in spite of my disappointment." pg. 212
*Possible portrait of Nikola Pašić: main negotiator for the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919
