Colorized photograph, which depicts from left to right after the armistice of 11 november 1918: german admiral ernst vanselow, german count alfred von oberndorff (1870 - 1963) of the foreign ministry, german army general detlof von winterfeldt, british royal navy captain jack marriott (naval assistant to the first sea lord), matthias erzberger, head of the german delegation center party member of the reichstag (1875 - 1921), who was later murdered by freikorps rightists for his role in the armistice, british rear-admiral george hope (deputy first sea lord), british admiral of the fleet sir w:en:rosslyn wemyss (first sea lord), marshal of france ferdinand foch (1851 - 1929), and french general maxime weygand (1867 - 1965). According to http://www. Jamd. Com/image/g/3279533. There is a signature in the left corner: pillard. See also national trust object 836535. This image appears to be a painting, not a colourized photograph. (it might have also been published as a sepia postcard. ) the probability that it is not a photograph is also indicated by the inaccurate depiction of furniture, in maréchal foch's 'dining car', which had a fixed-to-the-floor table and french chairs (as seen in photographs of the event). The probable inaccuracy of the depiction might be the reason for its anonymity.
